Week 9 reflection

Dear fellow followers,

This week our class learned about ecology. Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and their environment. Scientists use the studying methods of observing, modeling, and experimenting to further understand the biosphere. Along with ecology, Mr. Wan also taught us about the flow of energy. We learned about food chains and food webs, and how energy flows in one direction from producers to consumers. Producers, also know as autotrophs, obtain energy directly from the sun. Consumers, or heterotrophs, get their energy from other organisms. We also learned about the cycles of matter. The cycles include the water, carbon, nitrogen, and the phosphorous cycles. #bloggin
