Biome Group Project
For part 1, use tablets for research.
PART 1. There are two parts/sections to this project. The first section includes the creation of a booklet about your
biome. For this part, each group will create a foldable of their assigned biome. Their project should include a realistic
representation of their biomes geographical features, plants, animals, human impact of the biome and solutions to
environmental problems. Students will present their poster and information to the class and should be prepared to
discuss each of the topics mentioned above.
THE LAYOUT OF YOUR FOLDABLE IS ON THE BACK OF THIS PAPER.
