Students participate in a number of activities to investigate the food web, species extinction, predators and prey, and biological diversity.

Students use microscopes to investigate the diversity of life that exists in pond water. They then conduct a controlled investigation to study the effect of a pollutant (rice) on a microcosm ecosystem.

Pupils explore ecology and biodiversty. They use the wet-mount procedure to make several slides to view using the microscope and draw what they see.

Students identify the basic characteristics of the prairie ecosystem, and several commonly known prairie species. They create a classroom mural of a prairie ecosystem; and create reports about what they have found out.

Students use discussion questions, handout information and research topics to explore several issues related to natural selection and evolution. They examine Darwin's research on the finch and antibiotic resistance.
