Students investigate ecosystems as interconnected systems. They examine populations, communities, habitats, food chains, food webs, energy flow, nutrient cycling, and limiting factors. Students collect and interpret ecological data, explore how changes to one component affect others, and use local Alberta examples such as parkland, prairie, wetlands, and urban ecosystems. Learning emphasizes observation, systems diagrams, evidence-based explanations, and responsible environmental decision-making.
