How Energy Moves in Nature Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson: Trophic Biomagnification of Synthetic DDT Across Apex Raptors Presentation | Environmental Science | Grades 9–12

This is the student-facing slide presentation that introduces the phenomenon, walks the class through observations and driving questions, and frames the evidence students will use for the Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson in the high school Environmental Science (grades 9–12) chapter How Energy Moves in Nature, built around the phenomenon Trophic Biomagnification of Synthetic DDT Across Apex Raptors. This scaffolded version adds sentence frames and extra supports for students who need them. It is sold separately from the other two parts of the set.
