Last Modified: 05-31-2006 The Life of a Forest: This unit focuses on forests and the variety of changes trees goes through during their existance. Our opening lesson starts out with a forest investigation and then goes into a look at biotic and abiotic factors that affect forests. We then examine competition for resources within forests such as sunlight, water, and nutrients. The unit will conclude with a lesson on forest succession and human impact on the forest. |
