Students will be able to render (to scale) a model of the ecoregions of Texas. Understanding that many students will not visit all of the ecoregions of Texas in their lifetime I think it is imperative that they still be able to grasp the details of each region.
Each student will use the posterboard to draw a model of the state of Texas, outlining and defining the ecoregions along with the different plant life, soil types, elevations and animals. I attempted to do this project over the past year but with far less space on normal printer paper the students had difficultly having enough space for all of the information. In the end, we finished the project with making flip books for the information. With posterboard, chart paper, and colored pencils students will be able to keep all of the information on the same poster that students can keep with them for years to come!
