Students will use Chromebooks to research generate predictions, questions and hypotheses. Once they have completed their research the students then engage in conversations with their peers to discuss their discoveries about biotic factors affecting the success of the ecosystem, how ecosystems change little over time, and how species coexist in ecosystems because of their compatible needs and behaviors with other species. Students then progress through a set of lab stations which are set up so students can explore and learn new information to add to their knowledge about abiotic and biotic factors At at one of these stations, students will watch a video, accessed through their computers, which gives descriptions of abiotic and biotic factors. Having the ability to rewatch the videos (sometimes in slow motion), helps students analyze the content and is beneficial in the initiation of small group discussions of science concepts. Then, collaborative groups choose an outdoor area on their campus, where they will conduct an ecology fieldwork investigation. They will use their computers to measure and inventory abiotic and biotic factors in the area. Cameras and video recorders will be used as well to record data. The data will be used later, not only to reach a consensus about each group member observed, but, for presentations as well. Once the field work is completed, students are given a choice on how they will prove mastery of the concept. The use of computers as a presentation tool allows students to combine text, audio, and graphics to share knowledge in multiple formats. Included in the presentations, the students will generate graphs displaying data and provide an explanation of the science content underlying their project.
