About This Product
Here is a ready-to-go terrestrial and aquatic biomes science research project for your students in 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th grade.
Each student will choose a terrestrial or aquatic biome, complete focused research about it, and create an organized project with paragraphs and visuals to share their learning.
How to Use:
•Print pages 2-13 for each student.
•Page 2 has clear instructions for the project including a website students can use to select their biome, places to write due dates, and a checklist to keep students on track.
•Page 3 has seven different prompts for students to research. Each student needs to pick at least four prompts to include in their unique project.
•Pages 4-6 are graphic organizers for your students to use as they take notes and record their research sources (page 6 is optional).
•Pages 7-9 are templates for students to use to write at least four paragraphs about their biome (page 9 is optional). They could also type and print these paragraphs instead.
•Page 10 is for students to draw plants that are found in their biome.
•Page 11 is for students to draw animals that are found in their biome.
•Page 12 is a title page for the project.
•Page 13 is a rubric you can use to assess the project. Let students see it at the beginning of the project so they know what the expectations are.
Over several weeks, your students can complete research on their biome, write and proofread their paragraphs, and draw the visual components of their project.
They can present their projects to each other, and you can use the rubric to assess them.

This project is designed for middle grades students in 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th grade who are learning about biodiversity and biomes, library research skills and expository writing- specifically expository paragraphs.
