Students will carry these passports from biome to biome. Additional material needs will be dictated by the general activities all students will participate in and activities students develop. Lesson Plan Assign each homeroom group to a different biome, such as a savanna, desert, tundra, or rain forest. Each group conducts research on the selected biome. The groups spend from five to seven days conducting research and planning activities for others to participate in when visiting the biome.
Students begin collecting materials for their classroom decorations.
Each homeroom will decorate the classroom to resemble a selected biome. Encourage all students to bring in materials to contribute to the group presentations. There must be at least five interactive activities in each biome exhibit so that as students visit a biome, they can engage in learning activities. For example, when students visit the rain forest, they might see a puppet show, listen to a native healer, eat dishes prepared from bananas, or walk on logs to simulate the destruction of the rain forest. On the day of the bazaar, every student will have an opportunity to visit all the biomes.
