My Project

Our next unit in science is ecosystems. We will be learning about interdependence, food webs, niches, habitats, and classification. During reading and writing, the students will be researching a biome of their choice. They will then use that information to create a Google Slides presentation of their biome.

As our final activity, the students will create their biome box!

They will need to have plants, animals, and a source of water in their biome. The items in this project, paired with their imagination, will help them create these biomes! I love seeing their creativity and imagination come to life with these boxes.
