Project 1
Become a Biome Expert
- Your group will become the experts on your assigned biome.
- You will do research and build a wiki page for the class website together.
- Steps:
- Gather your information on the characteristics of your assigned biome.
- Keep track of which web sites you use.
- As a group pick 3 animals that live in that biome to research. Be sure to look for adaptations that help them to survive.
- Use the template to plan a wiki page you can use to teach your home group about your assigned biome.
- During your assigned time, help transfer information, pictures, etc. to the wiki page for your biome.
- Make sure everyone understands the information well enough to teach it. (Remember teach not tell)
