Lesson Plans - 7th GradeIntroduce students to the concept of ecosystems by allowing student to create their own ecosystem in a jar. Raising ladybird beetles is time consuming and difficult since the larvae are active and voracious predators of aphids and scale insects. It is not recommended to try raising the beetles in the classroom without a constant source of aphids. Eggs can be placed outside on plants with aphids. This activity is intended to help students in understanding habitat, and the different producers and consumers within a habitat. This is an activity for seventh graders that will take 2-3 days to complete. In this activity the students will gain a better understanding of trophic levels and how different organisms interact. |
