Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Students will learn about the types and stages of ecological succession.  Succession is the natural process that occurs in all ecosystems. 
 Sometimes succession will keep going until a climax community has occurred.  They will also learn the types of plants and animals that are found in each stage.  Learning will take place through a slide show and discussion.  A kahoot will quiz the learners on what they learned and students will create a labeled drawing showing the stages of succession in an ecosystem.
