Prairie Dogs: Interactions in Ecosystems
Overview
This module explores computational thinking in science by examining what would happen to an ecosystem if a keystone species were eliminated. Students will create a visual representation showing the levels of organization of the keystone species to determine what impact, if any, removing the species will have on the ecosystem.
