Program Description
Study a salt marsh ecosystem without even leaving your classroom and learn: How do earth’s parts (hydrosphere, geosphere and biosphere and hydrosphere) interact to produce a salt marsh ecosystem? How does energy move through the biosphere to produce the salt marsh food web? What happens if these relationships are thrown out of balance? These are the questions your students will investigates in this interactive distance learning program set at West Meadow Creek, an 88-acre wetland habitat, an embayment of the Long Island Sound. Teaching right from the water's edge, a marine scientist converses with your students as they search for live specimens. Meeting Next Generation Science Standards for exploring the relationship between land, water and organisms within the earth’s systems, students investigate interdependence of plants and animals in a salt marsh food web.
