Afterward, they should use the pairs' rough maps to create a large, detailed map of the wetland on poster paper. How do people create or impact wetlands. This team will need a clipboard and some basic field guides for trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses that might occur in the wetland they've adopted. For their plant survey, they will develop a chart that has columns for describing each plant and its habitat. For recording animals, they should make a chart that has columns for descriptions, immediate environment, and location.
Students can isolate aquatic creatures by dragging a dip-net through the water.
They can observe organisms in a white enamel tray. Students should describe or sketch these creatures as best they can and should use field guides to identify them. Assessment of Lesson Students will bring all drawings, photos, sketches and findings back to the classroom. Students will review findings from the other teams. Students will compile information from Project Learning Tree background geographical study information and conclusions from the team surveys.
