Biome Tissue Box Project
Use the guidelines listed below to create each side of your biome cube. Be creative and make your cube colorful!
Each student will be creating a biome cube to represent (1) of the eight major world biomes.
The world biomes are as follows:


Tundra
Coniferous Forest (Temperate
Rain Forest)

Temperate Deciduous Forest

Tropical Rain Forest
Side 1: Title (12pts)




Tropical Grassland
Desert
Temperate Grassland
Taiga
The name of your biome should be written or typed clearly along with your name and class period. Also embellish
(decorate) your title side appropriately.

Side 2: Food Chain (12pts)
Create a food chain that represents plants and animals from your biome. Keep in mind that all food chains begin with a
producer with their energy coming from the sun. The food chain should include 4 trophic levels including the sun.
o
o
Food chain with 4 trophic levels
Label each trophic level appropriately with the following terms:
o Heterotroph/autotroph
o Producer/ 1st, 2nd, 3rd consumer
Side 3: Wildlife (fauna) (12pts)
Illustrate 3 examples of animals that live in your biome. Label each animal clearly and describe how each animal is
adapted to their environment/biome.
o Illustrate 3 animals
o Label each animal
o Provide adaptations for each animal
Side 4: Vegetation (flora) (12pts)
Illustrate 3 examples of plants that live in your biome. Label each plant clearly and describe how each plant is adapted to
their environment/biome.

Side 5: Climate (12pts)
Describe what it would be like to go to your biome and include a picture.
o

o
Average temperature
Yearly rainfall/Precipitation
Picture
Side 6: World Map (12pts)
Using a blank world map provided by your teacher, locate your biome and color it on the map.
o
Locate and color biome on map
Inside Box: (20pts)
You are required to complete the biome chart handed in class using the online book page 463 or online resources.
o
Complete Biome chart
You will use a Tissue Box as your cube. There are 6 sides to a cube therefore all sides should be covered with
the required information.
You will be required to turn in this sheet of paper as well as your Biome chart for full credit!
