ecology project 2013

For the Ecology Project 2013 you will do the following:

1. Build a healthy ecosystem in a jar that will support a cherry shrimp.
2. Learn how to use the microscope to discover organisms living in your ecosystem.
3. Research those organisms to find out their scientific name, size, and how they get their energy and nutrients.
4. Research to find out which organisms get their energy and nutrients from those you identified.
5. Create a web page within the ecology project 2013 website for each organism you have researched.
6. Build a vocabulary page on the website that explains, in your own words, the meaning of words used in your descriptions of your organisms.
7. Add images to each organism's page to help identify them.
8. Make links between organisms when you find out their relationship to each other. eg. symbiosis, predator-prey, decomposer, etc.
