Ecosystems

Through demos, games, discussion, investigation and exploration, topics explored will include: the living and non-living parts of an ecosystem, what happens when changes occur in an ecosystem, how to measure and compare qualities in different ecosystems, animal and plant diversity, managing natural areas and how to help our local ecosystems and more.
