Ecosystem Art
To bring it all together, students create an ecosystem art piece that depicts a key component of the Outdoor Classroom ecosystem. Students will explain how the component they choose might help support the ecosystem through filtering the water, supplying oxygen, providing a home or food to the organisms that live here and play a role in keeping the cycle of life going.
