Your job in the project is to learn what types of plants live in your ecosystem. How have they adapted to the environment? What part do they play in the survival of other living things in the ecosystem? Do the plants in your area require a lot of water, sunshine, heat or cold to survive? Are the plants used just for food or do they also provide shelter for the animals? Be sure to give a lot of examples of how the plants are necessary for the survival of the ecosystem.
You will want to show pictures of a variety of plants from your area but be sure to also include the answer to the essential question that you were assigned. Explain how your vegetation fits into the consumer/producer/decomposer idea. You are to be the EXPERT in this! Use these sites, but you may also use sites from the ecosystem you chose on the "process page".
