Ecosystems
Design and prepare a poster or bulletin board, for use as a visual aid in a
classroom, that illustrates the concept of energy flow through an ecosystem- Choose a
specific ecosystem and use representative organisms from that ecosystem to develop
you visual aid- Specify the age group for which you visual aid is intended, and be
sue that you terminology and presentation are age-appropriate- Make you visual aid
colorful, attractive, and as realistic as possible-
Elements: The visual aid should include the following concepts: 1) the relationship
between sunlight and producer organisms, 2) the relationship between producers and
at least three levels of consumers; and 3) losses to the environment as heat- To
adequately illustrate the web-like connections within the ecosystem, it should include
at least three interactions for each level of energy flow- rt should have a descriptive
title, plus labels of each process and each level within the food web-
