Science - Biome Project

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 5 or 6 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.

Here are the Major Biomes of the World:

Arctic Tundra	Deciduous Forest	Grasslands
Coniferous Forest	Desert	Mountains

Oceans	Freshwater	Wetlands

This is how you will be evaluated:
