BIOMES TRAVEL
PRESENTATION PROJECT
Project Due:

Purpose: You are a travel agent selling vacation packages to tourists around the world. Create a
creative presentation promoting a Biome (Tundra, Taiga(Boreal Forest), Temperate
Woodland/Shrubland, Temperate Deciduous Forest, Temperate Grassland, Desert, Tropical
Rainforest, Savanna, Freshwater Ecosystems, Transitional Aquatic Ecosystems (Wetlands and
Estuaries), and Marine Ecosystem/Coral Reefs) using the information you gained through your
Internet research worksheet. You may also use additional information from the Internet as long as
it is approved by the teacher and cited as a source material. The presentation may be humorous or
serious, but all the data should be accurate!

Directions:
1. Describe the traits of the biome in your travel presentation. Use as much information as
possible, including: climate, location (continent), major land or water features, and types
of plants and animals living there.

Step 1
If you do not already have a Gmail account, begin this project by going to www.google.com and
signing up for an account. Once you have done this, log in.

Step 2
Go to drive.google.com and click the red “New” button on the top left. Scroll down until you find
Google Slides, then click on it. Click on the “Share” button on the top right and share this
presentation with mullenscience355@gmail.com (This is important so I can give you feedback
and grade your project).

Step 3
Begin your presentation. Google Slides works in a similar way to Power Point. To create a new
slide, right click in the left-hand column and click on “New Slide.” Take some time to get
familiar with Google Slides. Remember: While creativity and organization are part of your grade,
focus first on the information, then you can decorate the presentation! (You will be presenting
this to the class).
