Engage: Notice & Wonder

Introduction

Today you will begin a new unit where you will explore how organisms live and energy flows within an ecosystem.

In our first lesson, you will engage in a “Notice & Wonder” where you will observe some newsworthy scientific phenomenon related to living organisms in their environment.

These headlines will lead you to wonder about how living things interact within their environments. After thinking about the headlines, you will share your noticing and wonderings with your peers in a discussion post.
