Students engaged in various Ecosystems found throughout the world. Students were assigned either Grassland, Tundra, Savannah, Forest, Ocean, or Rainforest as their ecosystem to research. Students researched and found important items about their ecosystem and had to recreate their ecosystem in the form of a diorama. Students presented to their classmates about the research they complete about their ecosystem.
