You are going to create your own model that shows the movement of matter among plants, animals,
decomposers, and the environment.
Part One
You will create a 3-D model (diorama) or a 2-D model (poster) showing the movement of matter. Your
model must include the following:
• labels of plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment
• descriptions of plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment
Brainstorm ideas about what you want to create. Think about the materials you would like to use and
what you need to gather or buy. Write your list in the space provided.





You can now choose to take a picture and write a description of your model, or record a video of
yourself explaining the movement of matter. If you are writing your answers, follow the next set of
instructions.
Write a detailed description of your model and how it describes that matter is moved from plants,
animals, decomposers, and the environment.
