Ecology - Discussion Topics

This type of activity can be used as an introduction to the ecology unit or an opener for environmental issues. In this activity, students work in groups to make lists with a topic prompt. Students then share their list with the class by writing it on the board. Topics can be given individually with a time limit (3-5 minutes) followed by a short discussion. Points can be awarded for groups that came up with the most ideas or the most unique ideas.
