Life Cycles and Habitats

Introduction

We are learning that living things have life cycles and that they depend on each other and the environment to survive.

Task

You will be split into groups.

Your group is to research information about a particular habitat from around the world.

Each member in the group must research information alone and as a group present your research as a Key Note presentation.

The habitats are:

Grasslands

Temperate Forests

Tropical Rainforests

 Deserts

 Oceans

 Wetlands

 Polar Regions (Arctic Tundra)

Process

Use the following websites to find out information about your habitat

Evaluation

Have you found all the key information about your habitat?

- Any food chains

- What creatures and animals live in your habitat

- Geographical location of your habitat

- Interesting facts about your habitat

-If the habitat is in danger (if so, what could people do to help save it?)

- Information about the habitat

 

- Any other information you would like to include in your Key Note (pictures, diagrams).

 

Also, check that your research notes are in note form

Conclusion

Once you have all of your notes, find pictures and diagrams to include in your Key Note.

 

Check with your group about how you would like to present your project (who will talk about what section of the project)

 

Remember you will be presenting as a group!
