    This was a awesome web surf! My favorite biome is the tundra. Something I learned is that the tundra is not at both poles but only at the north pole!

    A cause for the increase in minnow and invert population is if the perch (or other predator) is affected, decreasing the population, causing the minnows to not be eaten so much so their population grows. :)

    If the minnows decreases that means that the population of the algae and inverts increase because they are not eaten by the minnows.

Reaching Out, Learning about Each Other and the World

By
This week our focus has challenged us to "be the world to one," rather than just "one in the world." Discussions have run deep with how our actions and words truly have an impact on everyone around us. We also talked about how all of us: humanity and nature make the music of this world, and without our unique voice, that music is missing something. Discover what you want to add to the music. Speak up. Say something. We wrestled with big history this week. We celebrated  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and The Little Rock 5, Ruby Bridges, and the thousands of others who took a stand during the Civil Rights Era.
