Today in science we continue the design process of our project. Here is today's procedure:

Design one art piece that reflects relationships in an ecosystem.

Product Idea: Students are allowed to choose “art” of their choice to fulfil the challenge. However, we are encouraging the use of “Stop Animation” as the focus

1. Students will brainstorm their ideas. (What Topic and What Type of Art)
2. Students will start the process of creating a prototype. The product procedure can be found by clicking here!
3. Students will receive feedback from 1-2 peers.
