Some of you are probably asking "What is a biome?" Well, a biome is is geographical location that is categorized by the plants and animals that inhabit those areas. When examining a biome, there are many things to look at to help distinguish its qualities. These different things range from climate, geology, soil types, water recourses, and even latitude of an area.
There are five main categories of biomes. These five categories are the aquatic biome, the desert biome, the forest biome, the grassland biome, and the tundra biome. These five biomes can be seperated into five different lessons that span out over the five days.
Day 1- Aquatic Biomes
Day 2- Desert Biomes
Day 3- Forest Biomes
Day 4- Grassland Biomes
Day 5- Tundra Biomes
You, the teacher, will review the biomes themselves. Explaing to the students what they are, just as I am going to do with you. Usually as a teacher you want to make all of your lessons inquiry based, but considering there is a good chance that students may not familiar with the material, you should keep the lessons to a point where students are still answering questions and discovering things on their own. Hold discussions, and have students answer questions whenever possible, also having students make real life connections is a part of this unit. If you incorporate all of these methods into your lessons, there is no doubt that you will be successful.
