If  you’re  using  a  poster,  here  is  an  idea  of  how  to  format  your  poster:    Biotic  factors  (both  plants  and  animals)  in  your  ecosystem.    

Description  +  picture.  

   

Abiotic  factors  in  your  ecosystem  (make  sure  to  include  important  factors  such  as  climate,  

light  availability,  seasonal  changes,  soil  quality,  etc.).    Description  +  picture.  

   Interesting  Facts!    Add  some  

information  about  your  ecosystem.    This  may  include  historical,  cultural,  or  any  other  information  that  helps  create  a  deeper  understanding  of  your  

ecosystem.      

   

Title  of  Ecosystem  “The Sahara Desert”

 World  Map  highlighting  your  ecosystem’s  location  (note:  this  

may  be  printed)  

   

Food  web  of  your  ecosystem  –  include  the  name  of  specific  organisms  found  in  your  ecosystem.    Clearly  label.  

     

Food  pyramid  of  your  ecosystem  (must  include  producers  at  bottom  level).    

Clearly  label.      

   

Human  Impacts  on  Ecosystem  (how  are  human  activities  affecting  your  ecosystem).    Description  +  picture.  

       

 Threatened  and/or  

Endangered  species  found  in  your  ecosystem.    Description  +  

picture.        

   

 Conservation  or  restoration  efforts  –  what’s  being  done  to  try  to  help?    Description  +  picture.
