Additional Notes:

Part 3 of the lesson requires a suitable amount of snow cover. If this is not possible, the product can be modified to be a drawing or writing product instead:

        Find a spot outside and draw what it might look like with heavy snowfall. Make sure to include the details of a   

        winter ecosystem.

OR

        Find a spot outside and write a story using at least 2 descriptive paragraphs (5-10 sentences) about an organism

        living in a winter ecosystem at that spot. Make sure to include the details you researched about winter

        ecosystems.
