* First, the class will complete one example biome research form with your teacher to understand the process.
* Then, the class will be released to work within their 'ecologist' stations. Each station will provide one assigned area of information about a particular biome. In this way, every student can participate in the biome research study and the group members can share their research in order to allow every team member the opportunity to be experts of that biome. Your research includes a biome description, climate, plants, animals, and adaptations made by living things in the biome. Students will complete a Biome Research form for each biome we study.
* You will plan your research and record data using the Research Form provided.
* Biome information can be found using the Internet Links and QR codes provided in each biomes section of this site and at each station.
* Additional online resources can be found on the Science resources page.
*Your biome research can be supplemented using your edmodo account to access PowerPoints and videos, encyclopedias, and other non-fiction books.
Below is a sample of the Biome research form. It can be found in your 'Exploring Biomes' packet.

Additional
Information: Any other information that is unique or important about
your biome (e.g., type of soil, sunlight, wind, or any other abiotic features- those non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect living organisms and the functioning of ecosystems).
