2. 20% time is when you get 20% time of your class to work on your project.

3. My essential question is what effects the corals and how can I help them.

4. What I have chosen as my 20 time project is to research the threats to coral reefs and ways I can prevent the threats. I choose this because I care about the ocean and it interests me. It answers my essential question because I want to research the threats and how I can stop them.

5. My goals are too make a plan that will help the coral reefs grow.

6. I will write my progress on a sort of log where I will write what I did that day.

7. My plan moving forward is researching and talking to specialists who can help me get a good, interesting and stable plan that will work.

8. I am writing to spread awareness that our coral reefs are dying and we need to do something to help them otherwise they are all going to die. And to persuade people to follow this plan so coral reefs can grow back to the health they were before.

Unit 7 Reflection

Unit 7 Reflection

In this Unit we learned how to know if a ecosystem if healthy and how to keep it healthy or to make one healthy. We also learned how the ecosystems work throughout a ecosystem and if one animal get extinct or threatened it can change the hole food change and it could go out of balance. Then we also learned how the population can decide whether a ecosystem is healthy like if the population grows rapidly the ecosystem can loose all of its supplies and the ecosystem can go into a sort of crisis.  And lastly we learned how we can help save ecosystems and our nature. I want to learn more about how we can help things that we have destroyed. 

During our conservation biologist project a lot of things went well but one big part that was that we had great collaboration and we worked great together which made our project easy to work on and good. One thing that didn't go well was that we didn't have all the requirements but we had a lot of excess information but I though it was good that we had this excess information because it then showed more about the ecosystem. I learned a lot about the Amazon and how greatly effects the world around us and how greatly it can effect the world if we continue to hurt it.
