In English Block, fifth and sixth grade are researching ecosystems and biomes. We have been looking at the plants, animals, land structures and weather conditions that make up different ecosystems.
This week we have been making our own terrariums in glass bottles that represent the different systems and the children have been asked to make their own individual terrarium.
Additionally we are working in groups to research and present these ecosystem. This project will have several components:
– Research and display written information about our chosen ecosystem in a creative and inspiring way.
– Recreate a miniature ecosystem in 3 dimensions.
– Present our findings to the classmates.
We are using our Forest Project time to learn about the necessary balance within an ecosystem.
