Greetings everyone!
Today students had the opportunity to delve deeper into our understanding of how energy flows through ecosystems, practice with food webs, and learn about how other matter – specifically carbon, nitrogen and water – flows through ecosystems. Our assignment has been posted in Google classroom so make sure to log in and check out the links provided!
As we wrap up this unit I am really pleased to see students’ wheels beginning to turn and things “clicking”! Tomorrow we will take our final quiz on ecosystems before we begin a brief review week.
Want some clear, student-friendly explanations for complicated content related to 8.L.3.3? Check out the Study Jams below (note: They have an abundance of other great videos, too)!

Enjoy the rest of “Pre-Friday!”
