Biomes Curriculum

This curriculum introduces children in grades 3 – 5 to the various biomes of the world. In the process, they will build curiosity about the world at large and develop a sense of what it is like to live and survive in other parts of the world.

Students are encouraged to gather and analyze evidence to draw conclusions about biomes. This is achieved through field trips, atlases, informational texts, and websites to help them discover more about topography, geography, climate, plants, animals, and humans in biomes. Students will synthesize all of this information and demonstrate their understanding of how people interact with their environment by creating a three-dimensional model of a biome in their Integrated Art period. Students will work as a community of learners to take action in finding effective ways to protect biomes around the world.
