To test a Grade 1 student's understanding of ecosystems, you can use simple matching or sorting activities where students match animals to their correct habitats, use picture cards to group plants and animals by ecosystem, or conduct a basic scavenger hunt in a controlled outdoor area to identify elements of an ecosystem (e.g., living things, water sources).
To train Grade 1 students in understanding ecosystems, engage them in simple, interactive activities such as building terrariums or aquariums to observe plant and animal interactions, storytelling with ecosystem themes, and nature walks to explore local habitats.
Understanding ecosystems is important for Grade 1 students because it lays the foundation for environmental awareness and appreciation from a young age. By grasping the basics of ecosystems, students learn about the interconnectedness of living and non-living things, fostering a sense of responsibility towards nature and promoting sustainable habits that contribute to the well-being of our planet.
