Introduction
Students, welcome to your WEBQUEST!
Task
On this webquest, you will journey through an ecosystem observing changes and finding patterns in life!
Process
First, choose an ecosystem and decide what organisms live there. How big are their populations? What does each organism depend on to survive? Create a food web to demonstrate this.
Next, complete this phet simulation to see how differences in the individuals can affect populations.
<div style="position: relative; width: 300px; height: 197px;"><a href="https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/natural-selection/natural-selection_en.j…" style="text-decoration: none;"><img src="https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/natural-selection/natural-selection-600…" alt="Natural Selection" style="border: none;" width="300" height="197"/><div style="position: absolute; width: 200px; height: 80px; left: 50px; top: 58px; background-color: #FFF; opacity: 0.6; filter: alpha(opacity = 60);"></div><table style="position: absolute; width: 200px; height: 80px; left: 50px; top: 58px;"><tr><td style="text-align: center; color: #000; font-size: 24px; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Click to Run</td></tr></table></a></div>
Finally, collect data to determine how changes in the ecosystem affect populations of your species.
