TRANSCRIPT
Select a land biome or an aquatic ecosystem
Land Biomes• Desert
• Grassland
• Tropical Rain Forest
• Temperate Rain Forest
• Temperate Deciduous Forest
• Taiga
• Tundra
Aquatic Ecosystem• Freshwater: Streams and Rivers
• Freshwater: Ponds and Lakes
• Wetlands
• Estuaries
• Open Oceans
• Coastal Oceans
• Coral Reefs
Research your biome or aquatic ecosystem
For land biomes: What type of weather/climate affects the biome?
For both: Where is it located?
For both: Provide 5 facts about the location you have selected.
Select an animal from the location you have picked.
• Pick 1 animal
• Research its habitat
• Provide 5 facts about the animal
Part 1: Food Chain• Using the animal you selected create a food chain.
• The more creative the food chain, the more points.
• Ex:
This will not get you more points
Part 3: Energy Pyramid• On a poster board or on butcher paper (ask me if you would like butcher
paper) you will create an energy pyramid for your selected animal.
• You need to correctly show the following: Primary producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, and tertiary consumer. Outside the pyramid you need to have two different decomposers that might be found in this ecosystem you have chosen.
• You can either draw the animals (neatly), cut out of a magazine or print them off a computer. Attached to the poster board needs to be a paragraph describing the ecosystem you chose, describing each producer/consumer (why they are on the level they are, such as diet, characteristics, etc.) and describing why your pyramid is set up the way it is.
