Science 7: Ecosystem Project
A biome is a
large ecosystem where plants, animals, insects and people live in a certain
type of climate.
In a group
of 3-5 people, choose from one of the following biomes and research it. Then create a presentation (approx. 5-10
minutes) that tells the class about this biome in some creative way. Your presentation may include any of the
following: Song, lecture, video, drama,
dance, rap, poem, story, poster, powerpoint, game/quiz, etc.
