It's hard to believe that it's nearly June! SNC1P students are starting a Species At Risk project today. Students will be presenting their findings to the class next week. Summatives will begin in the second week of June. More to be posted later.

Here is the last major project before the summative:

Species At Risk Project
You will be studying one of Ontario’s species at risk in depth. You will present this information in one of 3 ways: a large poster, brochure or presentation in front of the class. Through your research you will be required to find out:
common name
scientific name
At Risk status:
Description and general species information including:
size
food
number of offspring
life cycle
identifying features (tracks, flowers, etc.)
other details and interesting information
Where does it live:
map of current range
map of past range
description of its habitat/ecosystem(biotic and abiotic features)

What has lead to the decline of the species?
Are any organizations helping this species? Who?

Include all websites and books used in a bibliography. (Minimum of 3)
Research dates are Friday, May 28 and Monday, May 31 only.
The final product is due on Friday, June 4.

Ruthven Park was lots of fun! Students had a chance to participate in bird banding, went on a hike, and had a tour of the historic mansion. Thanks to all who participated!

Our new unit is called Sustainable Ecosystems. We are learning about local and global ecosystems.
