DAY 2
1. Pick 2-3 endangered species in your hot spot. (Remember this could be a plant or an animal!)
Find out what is endangered Here!
2. Research:
-Why are they endangered? Be specific, Use HIPPO to help you!
-How does this affect biodiversity and sustainability of the ecosystem?
-What benefits from it being there?
THIS LIST OF QUESTIONS SHOULD GET YOUR RESEARCH STARTED, NOT BE WHERE IT ENDS!
3. Create a Graphic Organizer to show your research on each endangered species
Use your Inspiration app to make a graphic organizer
Each group member will be responsible for one organizer
You will airdrop a screen shot of your graphic organizer to me by the end of class (Put your name in the top left corner!)
Use Google Scholar or Infotopia to find good quality sources!
DAY 3
1. Pick 1 of your endangered species that your group thinks would most severely disrupt the ecosystem if it were to go extinct.
Create a Food Web- highlight the importance of your endangered species (What does it eat? What eats it?)
Use your Keynote app to make a web
2. Research recommendations for conservation of this species
There may be current conservation efforts in place
Check all solutions for Cultural Plausibility (For example, to conserve water, why don't we all just stop taking showers and baths?!
That is never going to happen!!! So don't tell me that is a good solution!)
