Continuing on from our lesson from yesterday, we are going to how many bears can be supported in "Bridge Forest." Yesterday we learned and studied about the American Black Bear and created a food web as a class. We got our information off of a great site, Animal Diversity Web. I also showed the students some of the basics of Diigo to help them with their note taking and organization. Diigo allows students save all of their book marked websites in one place and highlight and leave notes for themselves that only they can see right on the website! I offered to all classes that I could create a free student Diigo account if they want to try it out. So, far though...no takers!
My students then "turned into bears" and collected as much food as they could in about 20 seconds. Today, we are going on focus on how much food a black bear eats in a day and how many bears could actually live in the forest.
After our discussion, each student will get a processing point at the last point that they left off with for Level of Science Comprehension to extend our understanding about this topic.
