4th Grade Cereal Box Biome Project Criteria
Congratulations, you’ve been chosen to become an intern-SCIENTIST at GREEN Science
Institute (G.S.I.)!
Based on your most recent study of Ecology in science class, you will receive TOP SECRET
training to learn the roles of these G.S.I. scientists- cartographers (maps), meteorologists
(weather), botanists (plants), zoologist (animals), and environmentalists (environment).
To be clear, by the end of your internship you will be responsible for creating a Cereal Box
Biome (visual aide) to showcase your research of one of Earth’s six major biomes.
Reminder: We here at G.S.I. follow strict rules and must meet our deadlines. If rules are not
followed and deadlines are not met, valuable GRANT money for future scientific research will be
lost as well as character credibility of being responsible.
To ensure you earn the most amount of credit for your hard work, follow these steps through the
duration of this assignment.
STEPS:
1) Use and complete the given research form on one of Earth’s six major biomes.
2) Remain on task and use your time wisely when able to access G.S.I computers, textbooks, and
other research resources.
3) Next, plan and create your visual aide- a Cereal Box Biome.
