  2. IntroductionTask ProcessProjectEvaluationConclusionHome Introduction Dear future zoologist, biologist, botanist, and the like, We need your help. All the habitats around the world have become jumbled up. The cold climate animals and plants are lost and withering away in the rain forest. The desert animals and plants are immobilized in the tundra. You must travel around the world to save the earth’s habitats. Continue onto your task to get your assignment. Resources

  3. IntroductionTask ProcessProjectEvaluationConclusionHome Task You will select one biome, or habitat, to help restore structure. Your task is to research facts about your biome. You will then research what type of plants and animals live in that biome. You will present your findings using your completed projects . Use the rubric to guide your research. CHOICE of biomes: 1. rain forest 2. deciduous forest 3. coniferous forest 4. desert 5. tundra 6. savannah/grasslands 7. salt water 8. fresh water Resources

  4. IntroductionTask ProcessProjectEvaluationConclusionHome Process Use the links below to find out about the characteristics of your biome, the animals that survive there, and the plants that thrive there. You will then select which mode to present your findings. Use the rubric on the evaluation page to guide your research.

  6. IntroductionTask ProcessProjectEvaluationConclusionHome Evaluation You will be evaluated on how well you develop your project, and meet the requirements of the rubric. The evaluation is based on the research, project, and presentation. You will present projects to the class. You will need to demonstrate an understanding of their biome, the animals, and plants that live their. Use the handout to help with questions to answer. Rubric Resources

  7. IntroductionTask ProcessProjectEvaluationConclusionHome Conclusion Extraordinary! You are now ready to join the leagues of men and women who are botanists, zoologists, and biologist. You are an expert in your habitat, and can identify plant and animal life that exists there. There are many biomes that thrive near your home and school. Adventure out to visit some of those biomes and discover the new worlds that await you! Resources
