Exploring Ecosystems and Natural Disasters
by Callie Mattus
Students will research a biome around the world, including 3 animals, 3 plants, and 3 nonliving parts of the ecosystem.
Students will construct a diorama of the biome and illustrate a natural disaster that could occur in that biome.
Students will write a 3-5 paragraph essay about their biome and the natural disaster, using a graphic organizer.
Students will explore biomes using Virtual Reality (VR) technology.
