Wetlands
Welcome to wetlands...
What will be your footprint in the wetland areas that you encounter around you?
What will be your footprint in the wetland areas that you encounter around you?
Thinking like a Ducks Unlimited Educator, you will create an artifact/presentation to represent one of the wetland areas.
You will include information for the following "I Can" statements:
1. - I can recognize and describe one or more examples of wetland ecosystems found in the local area; e.g., pond, slough, marsh, bog, fen.
- 2.I can understand that a wetland ecosystem involves interactions between living and nonliving things, both in and around the water.
- 3. I can identify some plants and animals found at a wetland site, both in and around the water; and describe the life cycles of these plants and animals.
- 4. I can identify and describe adaptations that make certain plants and animals suited for life in a wetland.
- 5. I can understand and appreciate that all animals and plants, not just the large ones, have an important role in a wetland community.
- 6. I can identify the roles of different organisms in the food web of a pond:
- producers-green plants that make their own food, using sunlight
- consumers-animals that eat living plants and/or animals
- decomposers-organisms, such as molds, fungi, insects and worms, that reuse and recycle materials that were formerly living.
Students will used the Black Gold website for information as well as the Ducks Unlimited website.
