Serc: Life in Extreme Environments: Who Is on Top in the Food Chain?

Curated by ACT

In this lesson, students will design experiments to gain some understanding of the feeding rates of Rotifers and/or Tardigrades. They will use organisms collected locally or provided by the teacher to explore differences between their own collected data on feeding rates with that available on the Arctic and Antarctic organisms that live in Lake Hoare and Toolik Lake.
