■1. Choose a good weather day, not too hot, cold, or windy.

■2. Find two different mini ecosystems. HINT: It could be a big stone in a backyard, a fallen log at a nearby park, the shoreline at a beach or pond, or a patch of moss on the side of a tree.

■3. Have the pencil and paper ready to record observations.

■4. Have colored pencils, crayons, or markers to draw your observations.

■5. Using the rope or string, form a circle around your mini ecosystem. (It doesn’t have to be a perfect circle; it will be the edge of your investigation area.)

■6. Now be a detective. Observe what you see in your marked-out ecosystem.

■7. If you know the name of something, write it down. If not, make a drawing of it. Also draw what you see.

■8. Observe and record your mini ecosystem for thirty minutes. Include any animals that fly over your area.

■9. Repeat steps 3 through 8 for your other mini ecosystem.

■10. When finished, compare your two mini ecosystems.

■11. Answer these questions: What plants or animals were the same or different in each spot? Were the conditions the same or different? What caused the similarities or differences? Explain what this might look like if the ecosystem was larger.
