Estimated Time: 1 class period

 

Develop an energy pyramid based on a local ecosystem. Model the energy flow through the ecosystem by engaging in various modeling experiences (e.g. kinesthetic modeling, physical model building, storyboarding, etc). Use the models to explain how matter cycles within an ecosystem while energy flows through the ecosystem.
