 * Ecoscenario Project Grading **


 * === Title and Description === ||
 * **Score ** || **If the group... ** ||
 * 3 || describes the ecosystem in detail, specifically shows where the ecosystem is located, and scientifically mentions similar ecosystems in other places on Earth and states why they are similar. ||
 * 2 || describes the ecosystem, shows where the ecosystem is located, and mentions similar ecosystems in other places on Earth, but fails to state why they are similar. ||
 * 1/0 || lacks information in the description of the ecosystem, fails to show where the ecosystem is located, and does not mention similar ecosystems in other places on Earth. ||
 * === Food Web/Trophic Issues === ||
