An ecosystem consists of all things in the area. the biotic and abiotic factors. Biotic: living, abiotic: non-living

Populations (draw and describe)

Abiotic (list)

Jigsaw activity
Purpose: Each member of the team becomes an expert and teaches their group about their expertise.

Steps
Start in a learning group of 6 Each member gets a number 1,2,3,4,5,6 Each number goes into an expert group (all the 1s from each group come together, and so on). Discuss your reading in your expert groups, create a visual of your expertise, come back to your learning groups.

In expert groups
Read handout out-loud (DO NOT WRITE ON IT) Come up with a 6-question/answer Cornell notes (each member has a copy)
What is the cause of acid rain? What is the effect of acid rain on plants?

Create a poster
Main Points and a large/clear graphic representation of your issue.
