Ecosystem Project 
Students will create a food web consisting of organisms found in a specific ecosytem that they choose. Each student must name the organisms, show the flow of energy in the food web, classify the organism as producer, consumer (primary, secondary, or tertiary), or decomposer, and identify three food chains from the food web. They will also be responsible for researching biodiversity in their biome and reporting on it.
