Activities

Now that you've built the components you need for the EcoColumn, try these activities to further your understanding. First read the instructions and perform the activity. Then you can go to our discussion board to share your results, and for selected activities, view an example of our results in track our progress.

• Taking Inventory and Pondering Change... Carefully describe living things, and predict changes in the system over time.
  
• What's on the Menu?... Use what you know about the organisms in your EcoColumn to create a food web.
