The Task

This project will be done in groups of three or four.  The following is an outline of what you will be doing for this project.  You will need to complete the following :                                                       

• Assign roles for the group members                    
• Write five facts about ecosystems
• Compare and contrast the three ecosystems we explored in our Science Trail
• Research one of the ecosystems from the Science Trail
• Create a model of the ecosystem you researched
• Write a summary about your ecosystem
• Present your ecosystem to the class

Please print off one grading rubric for each person in your group.  This will help you see how I will be grading you, your group, and your work for this project. It can also be used to help you stay on task and know what needs to be done. 

 There will also be other forms you need to print off to help guide you in your research.  Please make sure you print them off before you start working on that part of the project.
