Due to icy, cold, snowy weather conditions, they all voluntarily came together via zoom to satisfy their curiosity about “Interconnected Ecosystems,” using scenarios that Rosa provided from their own Alaskan backyard. This was the epitome of real-world engagement and exploration, motivating students to excel in science, and inspiring them create their own projects based upon their own interconnected ecosystem theme."
