As the Meteorologist for your team your job is to study the weather,
conditions, and climate of your ecosystem. You must
take accurate notes that include temperature range (Celsius or Fahrenheit),
and weather conditions of your
ecosystems. Record
your findings of rain and snow precipitation, in units of centimeters or
inches, if appropriate.
1 - 4 . An
ecosystem is characterized by its seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer, and
Fall) Describe the weather conditions and the type of seasons this
ecosystem experiences. Give high and low temperature ranges and note rain
and snow precipitation. (Note: Your ecosystem may not have every season.)
