The Ecosystems Unit is designed to provide Middle School teachers (grades 4-6) with educational materials to improve their understanding of ecosystems.  There are many lessons available such as "Michigan's Web of life" and " What is an ecosystem."  This curriculum was put together by experts with the support and guidance of the DEQ.
