Then read Chapter 6 in your textbook (Principles of Environmental Science, 5th edition, by Cunningham and Cunningham) and answer the questions on your worksheets. OPTIONAL: For each chapter in Principles of Environmental Science, the publisher's website includes additional information, tutorials, self-tests, and web links. This is an additional source of information to help students learn and synthesize the information presented in each Chapter. (Use of the publisher's website in this course is strictly optional.)Step 2: For lab points, do the internet activity entitled “Methods for Studying Succession.” This is a web-based activity that can be completed at home. The link to the instructions for this lab activity is available below. There are worksheets for this activity in your Unit 6 worksheet packet. When you have completed the activity, take your worksheets to the front desk in the Biology Learning Center for lab points. Step 3: For lab points, do the internet activity entitled “Tree Ring Internet Activity.” This is a web-based activity that can be completed at home. The link to the instructions for this lab activity is available below. There are worksheets for this activity in your Unit 6 worksheet packet. When you have completed the activity, take your worksheets to the front desk in the Biology Learning Center for lab points.
