=Fall Science Project - Mapping Stearns Woods=

For this project you will be studying the temperate forest biome. This is the type of forest that Stearns Wood is (remember the field trip?). You will learn about the biotic (living things) and abiotic (nonliving) factors that affect the ecosystem. There will be three different phases to the project:
 * Phase 1 - Preparation - During this phase, you will learn what a temperate deciduous forest is by research the the abiotic (temperature, water, soil, sunlight) and biotic factors (plants, animals, decomposers) of the ecosystem. You will create a food web with the plants and animals found in the biome. You will also learn about how plants make their own food through a process known as photosynthesis.
 * Phase 2 - Field Trip - Your class will take a field trip to Stearns Woods, take photos, and collect samples, and data.
 * Phase 3 - Project Completion - Using your photos and data, you will create a presentation called "Mapping the Forest".
