Ecosystems Project Reflection

Wow!  Third and Fourth graders, you did a wonderful job with your ecosystems project.  Whenever you want to look back at all of your hard work, you can visit our shutterfly page (the password is the same as the one to sign on to this blog). There is also a space for anyone to go answer our ongoing ecosystems questions on our wiki.  This will not be the only time that you have the opportunity to do a project like this so it is important that we look back and think about what worked and what didn't.  Keep in mind that there were two parts to this project, your ecosystems project you did in Mr. Lewis' room, and the tree story that you started with Mr. Lewis, but worked on and published with Ms. Trumbull.  Please answer the following questions in complete sentences:
  1.  What did you make? (give details please)
  2. What is the part of the project that you are most proud of sharing with your parents or Ms. Lea or Ms. Baldivia?
  3. What is the part of the project you would do differently if you were given the chance?
  4. If you were the teacher, how would you have planned this project differently?
  5. What part of your project demonstrates that you are a scientist?

  1. I made a food web/triorama/story of a fish being eaten.The part I liked the most is the triorama[if it hasn't died yet].If I had the chance to change my project I'd do nothing,I would do the same plan if i was the teacher too.The part that most demonstraes that I'm a scientist is my food web

  2. I made a diarama. It also has a picture on the side,a food and interation web,and a parogrph with info on it.What I think i did well is making the diorama.I worked really hard on it so it would desierve a 4.If i could change one thing about it, I would make the paroghph longer,with more deitails.If I could be a teacher and plan the project differently,I would make every one do dioramas.That way every one could have a little fun with thier project.My project shows I am a sciantist beacause of the food webs and showing what an ecosystem needs to survive.

  3. I made a story board that has a web,story,drawings and more.The part of my project that i am most proud of is my story because it has lots of facts and details.I would change the tidle of my animals name at the top because it dosent look very neat.I dont know because he gave us a pice of paper that told us how to plan it.I thhink that i did cientist thinking because i used a very detailed food web.

  5. I made a display board,and on my display board is a food web and a newspapper article. I would be most proud of sharing my newspaper article. I wouldn't do anything differently. I love my project. If I were the teacher I would not teach any differently then Mr.Lewis. I think the part of my project that demonstrates I am a scientist is the food web I did.

  6. 1. I did a diarama. The lid closes and I shine a flash light through the lid ,and it turns blue inside. That is the night feature. The day time feature is with the lid open.

    2. I would be proud to share the night feature with my parents or Ms. Lea and Ms. Baldivia

    3. I woudn't change a thing on my project.I like it how it is.

    4. If I was a teacher,I would have planed exactly the same. With the night feature and day feature and all the othe animals and trees too.

    5. The thing that shows I am a scientist is my food web and my 10 questions

  7. I made a story boared with my 10 questions,lots of details, and a web and chain. I am very proud of my paragraph that I wrote. If I could do anything better, it would be to make my project neater. I don't think I need to change anything, exept to make it neater. I don't think I would change anything as a teacher, I thought it was a good idea to let the kids choose what project they want to do. I think my web is very scientific.

  10. 1. I made a triangle thingie. I did a ecosystom model with a bunch of made up animals that were based on real animals. I also had a food chain.
    2. I would be most proud of sharing the animals I made out of clay, because whenever someone looked at the flying bird they would say that it is awesome and I would have said the same thing.
    3. If I were given a chance to do something diferently I would choose to 1, color the birds better because I did it last mineute and very skribley, I would also make the fox out of clay because well I also did that last mineute so it doesn't look like a fox at all.
    4.If I were the teacher I wouldn't have changed the project at all.
    5. I think that the food web and ecosystem model show that I am a scientist.

  11. 1. I made a scientific journal ,and a eco-picture all about the Ragged-Flaged fox.
    2. I am most proud of my sun and my scientific journal because I think it showed alot of details.
    3.The part of my project that I would have changed was having the whole picture on either all white or brown paper ,instead of a little brown square.
    4.If I were the teacher, I would have changed nothing because I loved the way Mr.Lewis set it up with alot of chioce.
    5.I think the parts that show I was like a scientist is the food web that I describe in my journal, and the mammoth eating the fox in my eco-picture.

  12. 1. I made a storyboard with a picture of my animal, facts, 10 questions, and a food web to tell about my animal.
    2. The part I most proud of to share other is my 10 questions because if someone had a question to one of them I could answer it easly.
    3. If I had a chance to change something in my project I would change nothing because I like how it is, butthe small thing I would change is the pink paper.
    4. If I wre a teacher I would of planned it different beacause when Istarted I started with marker and of corse I messed up.
    5. The part of my project that demosstrates I'm a scientist is my food web. It shows I'm a scientst because it shows that I know what order the produsers, comsumers,and decomposers go in.

  13. 1. I made a story board with two stories, a food web, about the toucan facts, and a time line.

    2. The thing that i'm most proud of are my stories, the reason why is I put alot of detail in my story and I think it sounds good when I read it.

    3.What I would do differently would be my food web because there is six things all together and three on one side and three on the other, and I don't think it's enough.

    4. If I was a teacher I wouldn't do anything differently because I added lots of detail and I added a food web,and a time line. So no I wouldn't do anything differently if I was a teacher.

    5. I think the parts that demonstrates that I'm a scientist is the story called Breaking News, because it tells about it's ecosystem, and where it's from and what it eats.It also tells all about the wasp.

  14. What did you make?I made a diorama with the Ragged Flag Fox,Perching Long Neck Cracker,Pokidot Frog,and the Red Hot Snake Also I made article,and a food web.
    The part I'm most looking foword to sharing is the diorama because it shows the ecosystem.
    The part I would change if I had a chance it would be the article because it is kid of confusing to read.
    If I was the teacher I would not change anything because I loved the way we did it.
    The part that shows I'm a scientist I think is that I used producers,consumers,and decomposers.CR

  29. 1. What did you make (give details please) I made a poster board with fun facts, a picture of the Ragged-flag Fox ,and a food web.

    What is the part of the project that you are most proud of sharing with your parents or Ms. Lea or Ms. Baldivia? I am most proud of sharing my whole entire poster board.

    3. What is the part of the project you would do differently if you were given the chance? Next time what I would do differently would be maybe not doing a poster board.

    4. If you were the teacher, how would you have planned this project differently? If I were the teacher I would have everybody do something that has to go on a cardboard.

    5. What part or parts of your project demonstrates that you are a sciencetist? I think the Fun Facts bets demonstrates that I'm a sciencetist!

    I made a story bord and it has lot's of details.The most thing I worked on is my pertedor and prey. Because it makes me proued, and if I had a chance to redo my story bored this is what I would work on the most. It is the part were you lern about the fire forest.Because I rushed though it. If I was the teacher I wouid have everybody do the same thing because I could ceap beter terak of them.The part that demonsterats that I'm a scientest is that I know were the energe flows on a food cain.
