The
purpose
of
this
resource
is
to
understand
that
physical
factors
-
temperature
and
precipitation
-
limit
the
growth
of
vegetative
ecosystems.
Students
observe
and
record
seasonal
changes
in
their
local
study
site.
They
establish
that
these
phenomena
follow
annual
cycles
and
conclude
the
activity
by
creating
displays
that
illustrate
the
repeating
