Exploring the Glacier Sea Ecosystem

The video tutorial covers the Amplify Science Populations and Resources unit, focusing on revisiting key concepts after a critical juncture assessment. Students are grouped by color based on assessment results, affecting the resources they access. The lesson includes a warm-up, a population puzzles activity, and exploration of evidence cards. Students work in groups to analyze food webs and energy transfer, ultimately discussing their findings as a class to solve the mystery of moon jellies in the glacier sea ecosystem.
