Let's create a glossary about the different elements in the ecosystem. Remind that a glossary is a list of vocabulary words related with a topic, in this case, ecosystem. Our glossary will contain the following concepts:
- Ecosystem.
- Non-living things.

- Population.
- Communities
- Species.
In the following links you can look for reliable information about the topic:
- Youtube: Population, Comunity, Ecosystem
- Britannica Kids: Ecosystem
- Cool Kid Facts:Ecosystem Facts for Kids
- Kids Enciclopedia Facts: Ecosystem Facts for kids
Each one of the concepts should have a TITLE, A DEFINITION (with your own words) and a PICTURE to make it more visual and comprenhensible for everybody. You can present your final task in the most suitable format for you, you can use one of our proposals:
Your work will be assessed by the Rubric to assess a glossary (download in editable odt format, download in pdf).
Thinking about my learning
It is time to reflect about your learning today. Remind that everyday at the end of each lesson we will write on your Learning Diary asking the following questions:
- Date
- What have I done?
- What problems did I have? How did I solve these problems?
- What have I learnt?
- How can I improve my learning for the next lesson?
- Do I want to learn a bit more about something?
Our teacher will check it and give to us some feedback to help our improvements.
