The Chesapeake Bay - 6th Grade

Below you will find links to help you further explore our studies of the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem outside of class. Some of these sites will be used in class to help complete assignments, but are mostly to supplement the materials we cover in class. Some of these sites also contain project ideas and information that will be helpful in the completion of the Ecology Projects you will be completing for the end of this unit. I encourage you to look through the sites to further your understanding of our science curriculum.
