In the activity sheets they use in the process, students compare and contrast different biomes, and organize different characteristics of a single biome into a graphic organizer. In the letter, students will describe their biome and its features, and present questions that they hope to answer, and assemble their collected information in an organized manner.
This lesson meets the following Illinois Learning Standards for Science:
11.A.2c Construct charts and visualizations to display data
11.A.2d Use data to produce reasonable explanations
11.A.2e Report and display the results of individual and group investigations
12.B.2b Identify physical features of plants and animals that help them live in different environments.
To conclude their letters, the teacher can create certificates to present to all the winners of the Paul Kelter Award for a job well done.
