The students were excited to have an assortment of options for their specific projects. The bright, colorful card stock helped make the posters engaging and high-quality. The variety of sharpies made the text on their boards stand out for their audiences to read. The double sided tape was crucial for allowing students to re-use laminated organism cards for their food webs as these cards had to be shared across five class periods.\r\n\r\nThis new school year, we will be doing the ecosystem projects again. I will definitely request the same materials plus additional craft supplies.
