Design Process - Creating a Multimedia Infographic

Ecosystems make up the world around us. Though they all have abiotic and biotic features, these features vary depending on the temperature, climate and precipitation levels of the area. There are also other types of ecosystems - even some that live inside of us! How else does that food break down in your stomach?!

For this unit's design process, we are going to take a closer look at the microorganisms found in ecosystems. Our goal will be to learn more about a specific microorganism and teach others about. Because they can be helpful or harmful to humans,  it's purposeful to learn and teach others about it!

We will share our learning by creating a "ThingLink". This online tool not only serves as a place to gather information, but its also a great way to present information. We will be sharing our creations with each other and during student-led conferences.

Asking good questions and using scientific vocabulary will continue to be our focus. I am excited to learn from you!  Let the researching begin!




To create your own account, you need to go to ThingLink and log in.  I will provide you with a password and username.  Don't lose your info!


Now that you have an idea of how "Thinglink" works, start brainstorming.  What do you want to learn more about? What questions can you come up with? How many questions will be enough? What is the most important thing you want to share with others?
