A Kids' Guide to Your Backyard Ecosystem
Each student wrote a chapter about a part of the ecosystem that interested them. The class worked together to organize the chapters into a flow that made sense, drafted their chapters, designed their layouts and helped each other revise and edit to make a final product. Students wrote so many pages that we had to split the guide into two books. Click the buttons below to view the completed guides!
Exhibition
At exhibition, students took their parents on a hike, and taught them about native and invasive species in our ecosystem, how plants and animals are adapted to survive in our ecosystem, and how humans are impacting our ecosystem. Students also shared the newly published Kids' Guide to Our Backyard Ecosystem, and talked about the field experiences in this project.
