Create an Ecosystem!
Using what you learn in this webquest, create a model of an ecosystem. With your partner, choose one of the following:
Challenge Question (for both projects)!
Now that you've created an ecosystem, take one biotic part away. What will happen to your ecosystem now that that organism is gone?
- Create a diorama or 3D model of your ecosystem. Be sure to include labels and a card that says what kind of an ecosystem you've made, and that describes at least 5 different parts of your ecosystem and tells what the role, or niche, of each is. Who are the producers? The consumers? The decomposers?
- Make a poster: Draw a picture or create a collage on poster board of an ecosystem. Write a brief description of your ecosystem (what kind is it?) and identify the biotic and abiotic parts of your ecosystem. Who are the producers? The consumers? The decomposers?
