Students will select group members and a major biome to research. Each group
will research the biome on the webquest links provided and use the media
center as needed. Then students will create a Powerpoint presentation that
thoroughly represents their biome to share with the class. Each group will
also be asked to make a three dimensional map of their biome. Each
individual student will be asked to make a food chain for the biome of their
group using Inspiration, complete a temperature chart and a world biome map
(under the whole group category in the internet links section.)
Groups will teach their classmates about their biome and how that biome is
interconnected with our Ecosystem. While presenting the finished product,
groups must explain the climate, the animals and the plants in that biome.
Presentions must also explain why the environment is important for the
animals and the plants to survive, and what might happen should that
environment become damaged or extinct. Presentations will include cause and
effect statements (i.e. if this animal becomes extinct it will effect the
biome in this way).
