Unit 7 Reflection

Unit 7 was about food webs and ecosystems. It talked about how plants and animals depend on each other to live. Plants take energy from the sun ,which animals eat, and other animals eat the smaller animals, transfering the energy from the sun. It talked about how ecosystems have a carrying capacity and what factors help and hurt ecosystems. I want to learn more about methods we can take care of our planet, so we won't hit our carrying capacity or run out of natural resources as fast. I'm still curious about how we could reduce our trash.
The conversation biology project (Conversation Biology Project) was fun and let me learn a lot about the ecosystem we studied, the coral triangle. Researching about the coral triangle went well, while finding out about the animals that lived there was a bit more difficult. The collaboration in our group was good.
