Ecology is the study of our natural house. This video explains why we study ecology, so watch this first.
We will explore several multi-day projects to understand how ecology works, starting today with mapping your own local ecosystems.
Map Local Ecosystem Area
Map Local Ecosystem Area
Tap on the document link Map Local Ecosystem Area to see what to do. The document links to a mapping program ARCGIS iNaturalist Explorer run by National Geographic. This uses nature photos and data from iNaturalist, a citizen scientist site. A citizen scientist is an everyday person that helps gather scientific data. You can analyze the data for your home area!
The live link below provides an alternative way to access the ARCGIS iNaturalist Explorer and zoom to your home.
