Hi kids,
Its time to prepare our summative assessment (final project) for this past unit. I hope you learned a lot & are not getting ready to share your knowledge! You have investigated in many ways... read, watched clips, visited the BLOG, investigated outside & went to Los Pellines... I think you are ready to prepare a project!
Here are the following requirements (your printed rubric will be available in a few days).
SA UOI5 STP- Life & Change
CI *Living organisms depend on natural resources and transform them to meet their needs.
LOI *Organisms have a specific function in a food chain.
*Changing ecosystems provoke adaptation.

Key Concepts *Responsibility *Change *Connection
After so much learning both in class & at Los Pellines please work on the following project…
1. You must investigate about an ecosystem… (features like temperature, humidity, seasonal changes, climate change…)
2. Identify the habitat including flora & fauna. (Please identify location in Chile & around the world, identify animals/plants and their adaptations which permit survival in this environment)
3. Identify any problems or risks that this place (or flaura & fauna) may have now or in the future…(societal developments, climate change…)
4. Try to identify cause (fact or potential)
5. Propose an action plan (involving you, a group, a business, the government, etc.) to confront/resolve the issue or promote protection or conservation…
