Ecosystem Expedition Research Journal
A 3-page print-ready student research journal modeled as a scientist's field log. It guides students to select an ecosystem, analyze its abiotic factors, document food web roles, profile a target species with spacious writing areas, examine population trends with explicit search directions, and craft an actionable conservation plan. Explains ecological resilience.
Ecosystem Expedition Slide Planner
A 2-page student drafting organizer for planning a 7-slide Google Slides presentation. It provides storyboard templates for each slide (pitch, climate/packing list, adventure itinerary, food web, species profile, population trends, and conservation action) with distinct text and visual design boxes.
Ecosystem Expedition Grading Rubric
A print-ready 1-page grading rubric and project directions sheet. It outlines specific point distributions and descriptions for all 7 slides (travel pitch, climate, adventure itinerary, food webs, symbiosis, population trends, and conservation) on a 3-point scale (total 21 points) with a feedback box.
Ecosystem Expedition Teacher Guide
A detailed 1-page teacher facilitation guide outlining project pacing for 45-minute classes. Includes day-by-day lesson plans, common misconceptions (e.g., energy flow arrow direction), trusted research databases, and differentiation strategies.
