Topic 3 Activity 2: A Tool for Inquiry - BioQUEST
Reflection: Composition/Posting
What is 'new' in this tool? What do my students get out of it? Where is inquiry supported?	Each individual exploration of EDM, in all probability, proceeded on different lines. Share your insights. Share your models. What did you learn about populations and steady state conditions? What insights can your peers give you? Did you do your own inquiry into ecosystem interactions with EDM? Post models and comments. Take advantage of the resources of the field expert.
How much time should this take?	TWO HOURS ONE hour to reflect on questions and post. ONE hour to comment on postings and reflections of others.

ASSIGNMENTS

1. What did you learn from your modeling experience? Were there unexpected interactions between elements of the system? How did you make sense of this? Attach some models. 2. Read and respond to postings of others exploring the curriculum. Are there other questions you want to explore? Post your comments in the DOMINO discussion area. You should read the comments of others and post two of your own. If you have made an interesting model in EDM, please post it for others to view (remember to use the .EDM extension so readers can point their browsers to EDM when it asks with which application it should open the file). Look for the Topic 3 BioQUEST thread.

Go to the DOMINO discussion area.
