Exploring a mediterranean marine ecosystem abiotic and biotic factors in a marine ecosystem

(in classroom):
The educator should introduce to the students a vocabulary that includes elements such as: ecosystems, abiotic factors, biotic factors, habitats, food chain, food web

(in the classroom or ICT lab):

Students will divide in small groups and will search in internet or other resources (books, illustrations, guides, video galleries etc.) to provide examples of abiotic and biotic factors of different marine ecosystems in Mediterranean Sea. (Students could chose examples from different countries or from their native country and present at least 5 examples)

Students have to find an attractive way to present and share their examples /information with the rest of the classroom. They can write a play and play it in front of all, they can write a poem-haiku or they can write a story with fantastic characters or finally they can create a ppt or poster  and present  it in the class

Students and educators discuss with an expert (e.g. marine researcher from HCMR, or from another institute-university through skype connection) about their conclusions for the effects of abiotic factors on marine ecosystems and the human's interaction and impact to marine ecosystems

Students exhibit their posters/poems, or present their ppt/ or their story/fiction, or play their play to the rest of the school community and their parents and inform them about the ways that humans interact with the marine habitats in Mediterranean Basin.
