Lesson 15

Ecology for Kids

by Federico Arana

Essential Question: Why is it important to be informed about what is happening in our world?

Psalm 24:1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.

This week we’ll continue our exploration of nature and explore the

question “Why is it important to be informed about what is

happening in our world?” In the informational text, Ecology for Kids,students will learn about protecting three ecosystems—the forests, the ocean, and the atmosphere. We’ll also read Wonderful

Weather, poetry about weather.
