Please link online materials here with a short description of what they contain. As the list grows, we will probably want to organize the links, but for now let's just work with a simple listing.
Abiotic and Biotic Lesson Plan: this is a two day lesson plan that will get the students into the nature sanctuary for initial observations. We can use the same marked off areas that we plan to use for the diversity activities. May need some modifications for our needs. Good intro to NJ Project.
Map of New Jersey Eco-regions: this one is pretty clear-cut. If anyone finds one that is better - maybe a clickable one, please post.
i-Map NJ : this is the GIS page that we looked at during our last meeting. We should all work through the tutorials so we know more than the kids. ;)
Ecosystem Activity: this is the website that Jane sent for our activity in the nature sanctuary. I think we could do this at the time I listed in the calendar and have students add to it as we discuss trophic levels, food webs, energy exchange, parasitism, mutualism, etc.
