Instructions

Class Period One

2) Begin the class by writing these words next to each other on the board or overhead: “similarities” and “relationships.” Ask students to think of some similarities among students in the class and write some examples in a column beneath the word, “similarities.” Next ask students to think of some relationships among students in the class and again write examples in a column below the word, “relationships.” Explain to students that they will be looking for both similarities and relationships among species in the alpine/aeolian ecosystem during the game they will be playing.

2) Hand out the Student Page “Web of Life Game.” Conduct Part One of the game using the game cards provided with the curriculum and following the game instructions (pp. 28-29).

3) Assign the Student Page “How Does Your Species Fit?” as homework.

1) Conclude the “Web of Life Game” by completing Part Two.
