Endangered Species Ecology Project | Human Impact on the Environment
In this in-depth Endangered Species Project, students investigate the culture of a people group living near a chosen Endangered Species, and create a campaign to save that species. The project is a great end-of-year or end-of-unit assignment for Ecology. Laws and regulations for protecting endangered species are needed, but do not always work if the community is not on board. But if a community has PRIDE in their native species, they will be motivated to save the species, and to protect the habi

Create An Ecosystem: An Ecology Project
Make ecology come to life by having students create their own fictional ecosystem.Students will demonstrate their understanding of ecology by creating a fictional ecosystem complete with plants and animals. They will show how plants and animals have adapted to their ecosystem, how they interact with one another (symbiosis), which organisms eat which (food chains and food webs), how their ecosystem formed over time (ecological succession), and how mater travels through their ecosystem (biogeochem

Evolution vs. Extinction: Life Science Project (PBL)
In this two week project, students will synthesize their understanding of ecosystems, climate change, and natural selection. Students will begin the project by conducting background research on two animals. They will then predict the effects that climate change will have on each organism. One of the two organisms will go extinct. Students will predict what effect the extinction will have on that organism's ecosystem. The second organism will evolve. The students will brainstorm what adaptations

Geocaching Project
Students learn about the global treasure hunt called Geocaching in the intro PowerPoint. The project has them build and hide caches on campus, and log their coordinates using several GPS devices that I have gathered through the years (I started with only 1 the first year).
The culmination of the project is to have each class period search for caches hidden by a different class period.
I also encourage students to create and account on geocaching.com, download the Geocaching Ap (available on t

Food Chain Mini-Project Rubric
This project was designed for middle school students, but could easily be used for upper elementary as well! This could also be expanded to a food web project by having students connect their food chains together once finished.
In this project, students will use index cards to create a food chain with at least 7 different organisms. The food chains should all begin with the Sun as the primary source of energy for the food chain. Then, the food chain should show the energy from the sun being tr

Endangered Animals Project with Rubric
This project is meant to enhance a unit on environments and/or endangered animals. I would highly recommend that this project be due before any assessment of endangered animals is given.
Two separate student documents are present. The first asks that the students research any endangered animal. The second limits the research to their country.
Rubrics and scoring sheets are included for your convenience.
We at What We Get Up To hope that your children have fun with this project.

Ecological Succession Lab - Micro Organisms in a Bottle
Our environment tends to remain constant so long as it is not disturbed. However, what happens when either a new habitat forms or a disturbance occurs? Ecological succession is nature’s attempt to make a habitat that is diversify or repair a damaged habitat. But what are the different types of succession?
Primary succession usually occurs after the formation of a new, unoccupied habitat. While, secondary succession usually occurs after the some form of disturbance to an existing community. A co
