Unit 1: Relationships in Ecology : Components of a natural ecosystem Adaptations Energy flow in ecosystems Changes in ecosystems and populations

Research Assignment Criterion D 04.02.19 – 14.03.19 Scientific Inquiry Part 1 - Project Criterion B and C 18.03.19 – 11.06.19

The natural environment is a dynamic community of organisms that change over time in response to changes in environmental conditions and the interaction of different species. Human development must be balanced fairly against the needs of all stakeholders in the environment. The transformation of energy to effect change is investigated through systems, models and methods.
