Interrelationships of Organisms

In this activity the students will be learning unit specific vocabulary, and then bring it to life by creating a classroom ecosystem. They will each play a role in the ecosystem and be cycled in and out as appropriate. The ecosystem will look at the relationships amongst organisms (commensalism, parasitism, and mutualism), and how a singular event can crash an interdependent ecosystem.
