Hands on Biome Building

Building a Biome: How To

This is a great little lesson plan for getting younger students excited about learning their biomes.  Here is a small summary of the procedure and a link to the site with the full lesson plan.

Procedure:

To build this model-biome
students should bring with them a box of at least 1 foot by 1 foot and
construct a biome within it. Inside the box the students should put
representative plants and animals. They should show the terrain of the
land (ie. mountains, streams or underwater terrain). The inside can be
painted and decorated as they please. The outside of the box should
display the following material:

• elevation
• precipitation levels
• temperature
• plants
• animals
• world map showing the location of this biome
