ECOSYSTEM FINAL TASK!!

UNIT 5: ECOSYSTEMS

In this unit you will learn about:

Identify the basic characteristics and components of an ecosystem (habitat, population, community).
Understand and explain the relationships (interaction) between living things: food chains and food webs.
Identify and explain the causes and consequences of loss of biodiversity (animal extinction and human damage).
Show respect for living things.

Your final task will be:

In groups you will work on a different ecosystem, you will have to choose a country where you can find that ecosystem and you will have to create a brochure using a power point and some cardboard. You have to include the following information:

Location (world map).
Characteristics of your ecosystem (plants, animals (adaptation and interaction), climate and fun facts).
Endangered species (which human action is damaging the biodiversity of this ecosystem?)
Food chains (producers, consumers and decomposers) and food webs.

After creating your brochure you will present your work to your classmates trying to convince them to travel to your country.

Assessment Rubric : Ecosystems Power Point Final task

CATEGORY	4-5	3	2	1
Preparedness Creativity (food chain)	Group is completely prepared and has obviously rehearsed. It´s very creative.	Group is mostly prepared but needed more rehearsals. It´s creative.	Group is somewhat prepared, but it is clear rehearsal was lacking. It´s not really creative.	Group is not prepared to present. It´s not creative at all.
Speaks Clearly	Speaks clearly and distinctly 100-95% of the time, and mispronounces no words. No reading.	Speaks clearly and distinctly 100-95% of the time, but mispronounces one word Almost no reading.	Speaks clearly and distinctly most 94-85% of the time. Mispronounces no more than one word. Reading most of the time	Often mumbles or cannot be understood OR mispronounces more than one word. Reading all the time.
Content Country location Characteristics of your ecosystem (plants, animals (adaptation and interaction), climate and fun facts). Endangered species (human action) Food chains (producers, consumers and decomposers) and food webs.	The four are included	Only three are included	Just two are included	Only one is included
Power point appearance	The fonts are easy-to-read, the size varies from headings and text. Text is appropriate in length for the target audience and to the point.	Sometimes the fonts are easy-to-read, but in a few places the use of fonts, italics, bold, long paragraphs, color or busy background detracts and does not enhance readability.	Overall readability is difficult with lengthy paragraphs, too many different fonts, dark or busy background, overuse of bold or lack of appropriate indentations of text.	The text is extremely difficult to read with long blocks of text and small point size of fonts, inappropriate contrasting colors, poor use of headings, subheadings, indentations, or bold formatting.

WE ARE GOING TO BE PARENTS!!!!

MY BABY EGG

We are going to be parents. Our little baby is coming.

Are we ready to take care of him or her?

Let’s see:

The main objective (aim) of this activity is to be aware of the responsibility of being parents. You should realize babies are defenseless and that their survival depends on an adult, they need someone whether this person is both father and mother, just one or two mothers or one or two fathers.

You have to imagine you just had a baby so you have to plan the following:

- What´s the child´s name? what do you need to take care of him/her? What are the roles of the father/mother? Decide when (think about different turns) to take care of it). REMEMBER: Your child depends completely on you both, you cannot leave it alone!

- This activity will last for a week, you must take care of the egg during the school time, even at the playtime. At the end of the week, the eggs should not have been broken.

- You can decorate the egg and prepare a shoe box or similar as if it was the child´s cot.

- I will have a set of cards that you must pay attention to. (RED: the egg is crying, try to calm it down. GREEN: the egg needs to be changed. ORANGE: the egg is hungry, fee it. YELLOW: the egg needs to sleep, cover it). This will also happen at the playtime so that the children do not leave the egg on a bench and go to play and forget about the egg.

During this fantastic experience you will write a diary or mini book. On the first page you will introduce your baby (name, days old, where was he/she born, what do you need to take care of it, my role as a father/mother is, he will be good at … because…), then on the next pages you can write how was your day, and finally, on the last page you must write about the main difficulties you have faced during the week and what good things you have learnt. You will also have to present your work to your classmates.
