In this unit, we discussed the many ecosystems we see in Spain and around the world. We played word games, like telephone (a favorite), to practice the more complex vocabulary. We also completed worksheets exploring the relationship between producers, consumers, and decomposers. We explored how each ecosystem has a food web, and how we can use food webs to locate the movement of energy through a ecosystem.
