EXTRA CREDIT PROJECT: Backyard Ecosystem Field Study
 
Get outside and explore your neighborhood and find the ecological terms/processes that we have been learning about.  Take pictures of yourself with the items/processes listed on the Google Doc.  Upload your pictures and type out clear examples of what you saw.  Then, answer the analysis questions, and submit your assignment on Google Classroom (no need to print anything out!).
 
I've attached a hard copy of the assignment in case you want to print it to look at as you explore your yard or neighborhood.  But, the extra credit MUST be turned in on GOOGLE CLASSROOM.
