This document provides information about an ecosystems unit being taught to students. The unit will explore different ecosystems through class activities and a student project where they explore their local ecosystem. Students will answer questions about problems facing ecosystems and how ecosystems are similar and different. The goals are for students to meet standards, gain hands-on experience with ecosystems, use critical thinking to address ecosystem problems, and understand human impacts on the environment. The project requires students to describe and illustrate the living and non-living parts of their study ecosystem.

This is the power point presentation for the Terrarium lesson that I taught in Science class. Several of you had ask me about it and I thought I would share it with you. Good Luck!
The Photosynthesis is energetic processes where light photons from the sun generate in photosynthetic organisms and the student will understand and comprehend the importance of both the light and dark reactions of photosynthetic organisms for the energetic balance in all ecosystems.

Lesson Plan one is a lesson plan developed with Arts and Science. Within this lesson students will have the chance to learn about how plants change during the Life Cycle.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

More About the Exploring Ecosystems Unit
In this unit, students will be exploring different aspects of
each ecosystem. The plants and animals that are found in a
particular location are referred to as an ecosystem. These plants
and animals depend on each other to survive. Any kind of
disruption to an ecosystem can be disastrous to all the
organisms within the ecosystem. Along with class activities,
students will be asked to explore the ecosystem in which they
IMPORTANT live.
DATES TO

Project Based Learning Q & A
Q: What is Project Based Learning?
A: Project Based Learning (PBL) is an
instructional approach, which involves specific
learning activities designed to reflect “real world”
learning.
Q: Will students be meeting the objectives and
standards for this course if PBL is employed?
A: Yes, students will be learning the same
information and will be meeting the same
standards and objectives. They will also be
relating the topic of study to real world situations.
Q: Will the projects take valuable time away from
other topics of study?
A: No, students will spend the same amount of
time on this topic as they have on other topics.
Students will not receive written homework on
this topic. Instead, I expect students to use this Unit Objectives

Student Project Guidelines and Details
To better understand the components of an ecosystem, students will be exploring
their own ecosystems.
Materials:
-String
-Paper
-Small gardening tools (optional)
-Magnifying glass (will be provided)
-Thermometer (will be provided)
- Popsicle sticks (will be provided)
Procedure:
- Locate a small patch of land to examine
- Use string to partition a segment
- Record observations about your ecosystem. Include all living and non-living
things.
- Record temperatures in your ecosystem
- Dig up a small patch of turf. Look at the soil. What is beneath the surface?
Conclusions:
- Consider the variety of living and non-living things in your ecosystem.
Which was the largest population?
- How are the survival needs being met in your ecosystem? (Air, food, water,
sunlight)
- What population could not survive in your ecosystem?
Project:
- Write a one page paper describing your ecosystem. In this paper, be sure to
answer all of the questions listed in the conclusions section.
- Illustrate a picture of your ecosystem. Label any identified organisms.
*I am aware that some students may have allergies which may limit their ability to
do this project. I will model a sample Exploring Ecosystems project in class on
the 12th. Students can use the information gathered from the demonstration to
complete their project.

What is the Role of the Student?
Students are expected to complete and submit the assigned project on or
before the due date. Students should do the project independently. They may
use class notes and their textbook as references. It is the student’s
responsibility to ask any questions about the project. Students can ask the
teacher for guidance. Students who check out materials from the classroom
are responsible for them. If the materials are not returned in the same
condition they were received, students may be charged for their replacement.
What is the Role of the Teacher?
It is Ms. Morris’ job to make sure students and parents understand project
requirements. The project will be explained and a copy of the project
guidelines and details will be distributed and sent home with each student at
least two weeks before the deadline. Ms. Morris will help direct and guide
students who need extra help on the project. Extra help will be provided up
until one day before the project is due.
What is the Role of the Parent?
Parents are expected to help facilitate the project. Parents can help direct
students, but should not complete the project for their children. If a parent
completes the project for their child, that student may receive a failing grade.
Parents are encouraged to remind students to work on the project.
