|Instructions: | |
|After your group is assigned, your job is to research the two biomes. You will then create a Venn diagram and include features of each of | |
|your biome, placing similar features in the overlapping area of your two circles. Probably the best way to approach this problem is for each | |
|person to review one ecosystem and jot down notes of its significant features and characteristics. Together you can then decide where to | |
|place them on the Venn diagram. | |
|Characteristics of Biomes: | |
|1. Rainfall | |
|2. Temperature | |
|3. Physical Features | |
|4. Geographical locations | |
|5. Types of Animals | |
|6. Types of Plants | |
|Insert (copy/paste) at least two images related to your ecosystem | |
|Vocabulary - create a crossword puzzle. | |
|Create a crossword puzzle using vocabulary and words associated with your ecosystems. Use the Puzzlemaker at (choose | |
|criss-cross puzzle). Print out TWO blank puzzles as well as a puzzle that has the answers. You can also right-click and save your puzzle to | |
|a disk or thumb drive | |
| | |
| | |
|EXTENSION | |
|Now that you know everything there is to know about your two ecosystems. You are going to share this information with a group that did two | |
|different ecosystems. And create a new Venn diagram that has 4 overlapping circles. As a result of this project, both groups should be well | |
|informed of the aspects of four ecosystems. | |
|Your group will then exchange crossword puzzles to learn the vocabulary of each. | |
