Science Class: Ecology Travel Guide






In this project students were asked to complete a portion of a Guide Book about a specific country as a group. Each student had a part that they were required to complete for the book. Each student was also required to research a specific plant and animal from their given country.

Here are the roles assigned to each student:

Student A - Location, Temperature, Rainfall & Biotic/Abiotic Factors
Student B - Food Chains/Webs, Photosynthesis & Energy Pyramid
Student C - Cycles, Carrying Capacity, Biodiversity & Competition
Student D - Invasive species, Niche, Symbiosis & Succession

After they completed their books they presented the ecology of their country to the class in an oral presentation.
