Instructions:
You are going to create an ecosystem and label the components. Your ecosystem can either be created electronically or drawn by hand. You can use a Chrome book to research different organisms that would appear in your ecosystem and learn about how they gain energy. Make sure to include the following in your ecosystem:
Abiotic factors
Biotic factors
Consumers o Herbivores, omnivores, & carnivores
Producers
Decomposers
After you have completely illustrated your ecosystem, you will begin the written portion of your assignment.
A paragraph (at least 4 sentences) explaining the features of your ecosystem, where it is located, and how energy flows through the ecosystem.
You will need to make a T-chart, listing at least 5 of the abiotic and biotic features in your ecosystem.
You will need to make lists of all of the: o Consumers (include at least 2 omnivores, 2 herbivores, and 2 carnivores) o Producers (minimum of 5) o Decomposers (minimum of 2)
Construct a food web of the organisms in your environment (minimum of 3 distinct food chains)
You will be required to turn in your COMPLETE project to me on Tuesday, February 19th at the end of class.
This will include: Your illustration, written portion, and labeled food web. This assignment will be worth one project grade and one daily grade. I will subtract 10 points from your project grade for each day late. I will not accept late projects after Wednesday, February 20 th .
