Ecology & Ecosystem Worksheet Part 1

This document provides lesson material on ecology and ecosystems. It includes tasks on biological levels, food chains and webs, and energy pyramids. Students are directed to watch video tutorials to learn about population, community, ecosystem, biome, biosphere, abiotic and biotic factors. They answer questions about photosynthesis, autotrophs, primary consumers, heterotrophs, cellular respiration, trophic levels, food chains, food webs, decomposers, and energy transfer through ecosystems. The final task has students complete an interactive game on energy pyramids.
