iple Le Chatelier’s principle states that if a system at equilibrium experiences a change in concentration, temperature, pressure, or volume, the system will adjust to partially counteract the imposed
rk collaboratively through carefully designed activities to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and scientific reasoning skills. In ecology, Pogil activities focus on core concepts such as ecosystems, food webs, energy flow, biodiversity,
and feeding relationships. Food chains illustrate linear feeding relationships, while food webs depict complex networks. Ecological Niche The role and position a species has in its environment, including its habitat, diet, and interactions. Res
ons One frequent confusion is why some pyramids of numbers or biomass appear “inverted.” For example, a single tree (producer) can support numerous herbivores, making the pyramid of numbers look upside down. The an
