By examining structures of leaves, fungus, animal skulls, and other natural objects, students will investigate life in a New England forest. Using plants and photosynthesis as a foundation, students will explore how matter moves among producers, consumers, and decomposers. From tiny insects to towering trees, from sun to soil, students will construct a model of the connections between living and nonliving components of an ecosystem.
