Connecting with Biomes through Movies
|
Who doesn't remember these movies? We took a walk down memory lane and used these familiar movies to connect to the major biomes of the world. Biomes are ways to divide the Earth's surface based on vegetation, organisms, climate, and rainfall.
We will be heading into a research project from here and will learn some research skills as we go through. |

Bringing it together - Food Web/Ecosystem
During the BTA travel agent biome assignment you looked at one specific area of your biome (e.g., plant expert, animal expert, human impact expert, climate expert). It is time to work through how these things all work together in the ecosystem they are found.

Invasive Species
To wrap up our biodiversity unit, we are looking at the Silver Carp. This invasive species is causing major problems south of the border and we need to prevent it from entering the Great Lakes. To gain background information, we watched The Nature of Things broadcast from May 19, 2016 called Carpe Diem: A Fishy Tale. You can watch the video by following the link provided or by clicking on the image below.
We are making a brochure to the information that we have learned. We need to stop the Asian Carp from getting into the Great Lakes. If you would like a template for a tri-fold brochure you can try the following link. There is another brochure template in Google Docs - it is the full sheet of paper version.
