Coral Ecosystem

I looked through the Coral Ecosystems and stumbled upon a some great resources and lesson plans that deal with coral ecosystems. I really liked the "Coral Reefs and Their Place in Interdependent Ecosystems" link. In the link there was a neat scavenger hunt handout that goes with the computer simulation. The great thing is, I could probably modify the handout and take the students on a field trip to visit a local coral reef after going through the simulation and they can make comparisons. The Ocean Quest link will also be helpful for the students on the field trip. The could look at some of the pictures and see if they can identify them while at the coral reef. All in all, this is a great place filled with many helpful resources.

9-12 Types of Reactions

I really enjoyed browsing through this SciGuide. I liked how each section had a whole bunch of links and resources for each topice. The part I found the most helpful was the 9-12 types of reactions. I really enjoyed looking through the links for the students. I know that my students will definitely benifit from these sites. Since I had already passed this section for this semester, I will definitely try a couple of the sites for next semester.
