Students explore Earth science by identifying environmental factors. In this biome lesson, students discuss the importance of a functioning ecology and design a biome diorama. Students utilize images of trees and plants which represent a...

Students utilize maps/Atlases to find key spatial information, locate U.S. National Parks, characterize the geography of a specific region, and create a National Park brochure.

Fifth graders participate in an interdisciplinary project related to the Savanna biome.  In this biome building instructional activity, 5th graders display the elements of the Savanna biome such as the geography, animals and plants,...

Students create a model biome to understand the abiotic and biotic factors that go into creating a biome. In this biomes lesson plan, students should display plants, animals, temperature, precipitation, and more.

Students explore environmental awareness by completing a construction project. In this biomes lesson, students identify the different elements for life to thrive in an ecosystem. Students utilize a cardboard or wood box to create a biome...

Students create a desert biome to understand the abiotic and biotic factors of that biome. In this desert biome lesson plan, students include elevation, precipitation, temperature, plants, and more.

Students create a model biome. In this ecology lesson plan, students use materials to create a model biome. There is an extension activity that allows students to write about plants and animals and their specific biome.

Students create Earth boxes containing some of Earth's biomes--desert, forest, tundra, ocean, and mountains. They simulate Earth's encounter with a comet trail and the resulting meteor shower. They present their Earth boxes to...

Students research Earth science by conducting an experiment in class. For this ice-cap lesson, students identify what an ice cap is and create a biome using a box which measures 1 ft. x 1 ft. Students participate in an animal...

Students build a model of biome in order to comprehend the abiotic and biotic factors that are prevalent in a biome. For this hands on building lesson, students use a box to build a biome. . Students decorate the inside and...
