I taught in a Title I school for 11 years in sunny Tampa, Florida. Due to my husband's work we just recently made the move to Virginia. We're excited to begin this new adventure!

This project is a great addition to your habitats or ecosystems unit. It can be used as a supplemental learning resource or as an alternative assessment. It includes 8 vibrantly colored biome posters in addition to the cube biome pages. Detailed step-by-step assembly instructions are also provided.
This resource includes eight different biomes. When assembled, each 3-D biome cube contains four biomes. It is at the teacher’s discretion to make this an individual or group project, and whether students pick the biomes they want to work on or if they are assigned. The biome pictures contain enough details to show students the main features of each, while leaving room to draw in additional plants and animals to demonstrate an understanding of each biome. On the front of each cube side, students write a description of the biome as well as listing plants and animals found there and the locations where the biome exists. And, these finished resources will look great when displayed in your classroom!
The following biomes are included:
★ Rainforest Biome
★ Grassland Biome
★ Marine Biome
★ Desert Biome
★ Freshwater Biome
★ Tundra Biome
★ Deciduous Forest Biome
★ Taiga Biome (Boreal Forest)
Four biomes go on each “cube.” They actually form triangular prisms, but I’m counting the air inside each where kids can add pop-up animals, modeling clay, etc. so I call them cubes. :)
Enjoy!
