MYP Year 2 Science

 Hello,

​

We have spent 3rd quarter learning about ecosystems and how energy is transferred between organisms.  We started with Chicago’s urban ecosystem and than at Yellowstone National Park.

​

Students have been learning about the following:

​

1. -understand how organisms interact with other living and non-living parts of their environments

2. -discuss energy roles: producers, consumers, decomposers

3. -explain how energy & matter are transferred & recycled throughout our ecosystems

4. -create food chains, food webs, & energy pyramids to show the movement of energy

5. -understand relationships among organisms: competition, predation, symbiosis

6. -abiotic and biotic factors that impact populations

 

Students are currently working on their summative assessment.  Please ask them about it. 

​

As always attendance is very important.  If your child is absent for any reason please make sure they are bringing a note back when they return to excuse their absence.  

​

All the best,

Ms. Tolpa
