Biome Survivor task
Three and a half years ago you were flying in a plane, when suddenly the engine went out! Luckily you
kept calm as the plane spun out of control. You ejected just minutes before the plane went crashing
down and bursts into a ball of flames. You have no idea where you are, but thanks to science class,
you are able to recognize your surroundings as one of the world’s biomes. You managed to survive
three years before you were rescued by a group of travelers who came across your shelter.
National Geographic heard about your amazing survival skills and offers you $50,000 to create a Nat
Geo special educating the public on how to survive in that biome. You will use your knowledge from
class to create this survival special.
Your main objective is to explain how life would be if you were to live in a specific biome. What would
you see? How would you survive? What would you eat? Where would you live?
