Describe the major world ecosystems (i.e. desert, plain, tropic, tundra, grassland, mountain, forest, wetland).
I chose to do this topic because I thought it would be cool for students to actual see such vastly different types of landscape. In giving them this assignment, I am assuming that we already discussed in class what an ecosystem is and some of the types that I figure they are more likely to already know/be able to easily figure out (i.e. grassland, mountain, forest, and wetland.) I tried to pick mainly ecosystems that I thought would be less familiar to them (i.e. desert, plain, tropic, and tundra.)
My representation of this content will help my students to better understand because it connects actual visual images with the ecosystem names and allows students to figure out for themselves the characteristics that are typical of each type of ecosystem.
(Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to embed my table without cutting part of it off :( I'm sorry!)
