In this activity learners will use a series of videos, images, and scenarios to identify and discuss examples of ecological and symbiotic relationships in the ocean and terrestrial environments. We will use the root words to discover the meaning of competition, predation, symbiosis, mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Using video clips from wildlife researchers we will identify the various ecological relationships. Finally, we discover how these relationships shape the ecosystems. The class requires no background knowledge in the topic and will be completely digital (requiring no handouts or other supplies). We will be discussing the topic as a group and using images and videos to highlight key points. Class meets NGSS Standard MS-LS2-2. Construct an explanation that predicts patterns of interactions among organisms across multiple ecosystems.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! am a scientist and adventurer. I have a Masters degree in Animal Science with minors in Chemistry and Fish & Wildlife. I started my journey investigating sheep and goats, went on to study shrimp and zooplankton, and have many years of experience teaching STEM to students from preschool up to college.
The classes that I am currently teaching cover Food Science, Animal Science, Ichthyology, STEM experiments, and Women in STEM.
All my classes are anchored in exciting themes such as "Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse through STEM", "Interesting Animals from A to Z", and "Microscopic Adventures!". I generally have a short presentation which I try to keep 5-10 minutes long with the rest of the class time working with hands on learning. I create all my own high-quality material that your students will enjoy engaging with. My classroom is inclusive to all.
Interesting facts about myself:
1) I am an identical twin.
2) I have studied seabirds in Antarctica.Reviews
