| Students will work in groups to build a terrarium and will
observe changes in the terrarium during this one-month project.
The students must gather materials to build the terrarium
and add materials as necessary. The students must observe the
terrarium to see if additional plant, soil, or animal material
must be added and to note any decomposition changes taking place
in the terrarium. Students will enter information about the
project in a weekly journal. At the end of the project, the
students will make a group presentation describing the elements,
which were put into the terrarium and what changes took place in
the terrarium. Each group of students will make either a verbal
presentation, develop a power point presentation, or create a
visual display with pictures or drawings. Each studentŐs grade
will be determined by a rubric. This rubric will evaluate group
participation, journal entries, the class presentation and the
design of the terrarium. |
