As we study the environment, our focus will be on how all life is interdependent. We shall investigate the conversion of solar energy to food energy and then trace that energy through the ecosystem. Our study will examine structures of both plants and animals and how those structures help the organism adapt to its surroundings and survive. Finally, we will look at how all of nature works in concert to sustain life on our planet.

This page of the website will be filled with links to investigate in order to add to the knowledge of the student and assist him or her in the quest for information about the world in which we live!
