Up to this point, you have used your vacation experiences as a way to look at ecosystem diversity. What would happen if you were told to go on a mini-trip to the corner of a nearby park, field, or forest to perform a field study? Would you have the necessary knowledge to do a field study? Thinking back to previous lessons, what skills and concepts would help you to make the best observations of the ecosystem? What types of items will you need to notice and record?
