These cards can accommodate up to 8 groups of students of 6 students each. One way to use this information: Each
student group gets a different biome card. Each group member choses a different item off the card (an animal, plant, or
name of biome). Once students chose their research topic, they receive either the graphic organizer for organisms (page
2) or the graphic organizer for biomes (page 3). Students can use books or the computer to research their topic. After
each student individually completes their research, they come back together to create a group poster to present their
findings.
