These skills may include organizational skills, listening skills, note-taking methods, textbook reading methods, as well as various methods of studying. A little time invested up front to help students establish study skills will hopefully better equip them for success, not just in Peacock Middle School, but for a lifetime of learning. We started the year with the study of ecology. Ecology is the study of relationships and interactions of living things with one another and their environment. The students learned about food chains.
Food chains describe how energy is transferred from one organism in an ecosystem to another.
For a project the students made a poster using pictures of animals and plants to construct several food chains into a food web. We will be collecting seeds and organizing them by how they are dispersed. We will also be studying food chains with actual plants and animals there. I am looking forward to be working with the sixth graders this year. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to call me.
