Human Impact on Ecosystems LESSON 2

In this integrated lesson plan, students will review what wetlands are and how humans are affecting wetlands.  They will discuss what government agencies are doing to help restore and protect wetlands.  Groups will be assigned different ecosystems to brainstorm possible human impacts and how plants and animals may adapt to these changes in their environment. Groups will also come up with a plan for a government agency to implement in order to limit human impact on that ecosystem.  By the end of the lesson, groups will share their ideas with the class.
