CENTRAL IDEA
“Biodiversity relies on maintaining the interdependent balance of organisms within systems”.
 
The Lines of Inquiry:
• Ways in which ecosystems, biomes and environments are interdependent
• How human interaction with the environment can affect the balance of systems
• The consequences of imbalance within ecosystems
 

EXPLORING, WONDERING AND MUSING

After reading several articles related to mangrove and its ecosystem, the students were encouraged to make questions based on key concepts. Each member made at least three questions and analized problems that related to mangrove.

Then, after discussing about the central idea, we focused on the roles of mangrove to living things and the conservation of mangroves.
