Can people effectively manage Baltimore County's ecosystem? This is the point to the research project students will investigate. All grade 5 students in Baltimore County will collect evidence of energy and matter moving through Baltimore County's ecosystem at locations scattered around the county. They will then compare this to their own schoolyard. Students will then compare and contrast the two sites to determine if the ecosystem is functioning correctly. They will then decide what actions ( if any) need to be taken to improve the ecosystem. less ↑
