Teacher Resources


  • A Couch or A Potato - Students will understand the relationship of living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components within an ecosystem.
  • A Dog Eat Dog World - Students label animals as producers, consumers and/or decomposers and explain the basis of that designation. They distinguish between aquatic and terrestrial organisms.
  • Critter Count - In Critter Counting, students generate, collect, organize, display, and analyze data using a graphical presentation.
  • Oh Where, Oh Where Can My Industry Be? - Youth scientists conduct observational studies of three ecosystems. Using the Web World Wonders site cameras, they gather data to justify the establishment of an industrialized park at one site over the others.
  • Physical or Chemical? That Is The Question - Students use the five Web World Wonders camera sites to locate and identify examples of physical and chemical changes.
  • Who Has The Power? - Students write persuasive letters expressing opinions about the purchase of 25 acres adjacent to Wakulla Springs proposed to include a convenience store/gas station. They submit the letter to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection via email.
