Choose ONE of the below options to further supplement your research to submit.
Write a letter to a friend
describing your biome,
ecosystem or organism, and
what you have learnt about it.
Draw and label a biome
including the different
ecosystems and organisms
within it.
Create a news report about an
event that has occurred in you
biome / ecosystem and how
that has affected the
organisms it contains.
Compare the characteristics of
your biome with a friend in a
Venn diagram.
Create a PowerPoint about
your biome, ecosystem or
organism and what you’ve
learnt about it.
Create a poster of an
imaginary biome. What
ecosystems would you expect
to find their and why? What
organisms would you expect to
find there and why? Include
images.
Imagine you one of the
organisms, reflect on a day in
the life of that organism in
that ecosystem, making
reference to specific parts of
your ecosystem and biome.
Reflect on your own
experience in a specific biome
/ ecosystem, and the
organisms you saw, and what
you observed, felt and learnt
about the environment around
you.
Design a scavenger hunt in
your selected biome /
ecosystem. Provide a map as
to where it is, and photos of
the organisms to find (up to
10) and where you might find
them.
Describe the conditions the
hunter would expect to face
and the clothing / equipment
they’d need for the hunt.
