ECOLOGY - Study of the interaction of organisms with each other and the environment.
     Topic Goal - Promote an understanding of the beautiful balance that exists on Planet Earth.

Stage 1 Introduction | Stage 2 Energy | Stage 3 Cycles | Stage 4 Biomes
Stage 5 Species Loss | Stage 6 Populations | Stage 7 Symbiosis

Stage Goals - Distinguish between producers and consumers
  Associate producers and consumers with their appropirate trophic levels.
  Chart the flow of energy through a food web.

STAGE 2 - THE FLOW OF ENERGY THROUGH AN ECOSYSTEM
Mugan explains the basic flow of energy through an ecosystem
Energy in and energy out - a visual

and trophic levels, including food webs

Energy transfers
and trophic structures

What are trophic levels?

A song with all the details!
