Teacher: Sheridan (nsheridan@hps.holyoke.ma.us)
Assignment:
By now, you’ve done quite a lot of research into food webs, food chains, energy, and consumers/ producers. For this next segment in our nature adventure, you’re going to be choosing an organism from Medusa’s homeland of Northwest Africa, and doing a small google slides project about it!
You will:
- Choose an organism from the attached list of organisms in the African Savanna Grassland.
- Research your organism! I’ll provide some websites below for help.
- Create a google slides presentation in which you discuss:
- The organisms’s name
- Where it lives
- Producer or consumer?
- What it eats (if it’s a consumer)
- What eats it
- What competitors does it have? (who else wants to eat its dinner or steal its water and sunlight?)
- Any fun facts about your organism.
- Share your work with Mr. Sheridan! I would love to set up times to do video calls with you so you can present your work to me 1 on 1. When you submit your assignment, I’ll reach out and ask if you’d like to set up a presentation time.
Attached you’ll find a list of organisms to pick from and a guidelines sheet to help you fill out each slide.
