Your job in the project is to learn about the non-living elements in the ecosystem and how they are important to the survival of the living organisms.  What types of soil and rock exist there?  How much water is available?  How is the soil important to the vegetation, and does it also provide shelter for animals?   Are there minerals in the ecosystem that are important to its overall health?

You will need to answer the essential question about your ecosystem, and will be the EXPERT on this in your group!  You may use pictures to illustrate the information that you gather.  Use these sites, but you may also use the sites from your ecosystem on the "process page".
