Key Features


  • Ecosystem Design: Fostering creativity, students will design their own grassland zoo exhibit, visualizing habitats and spatial needs of the animals.
  • Critical Thinking with Experiments: Scientific inquiry comes alive as your child conducts a desert plant transpiration experiment, comparing how different plants manage water loss.
  • Hands-On Wetland Simulation: While building a freshwater ecosystem model, students see first-hand how wetlands prevent flooding, solidifying their understanding of ecosystems' roles.
  • Interdisciplinary Learning: Illustrating forest biomes links art to science, and creating food chain energy pyramids integrates mathematics, visualizing complex natural processes.

As your child compiles their findings and creations into a personalized "Biomes Book," they reflect on the knowledge gained and the critical thinking skills developed. Our Science Unit - Biomes is not just a unit of study but also an immersive journey through the intricate web of life on Earth. From observing local ecosystems to delving into creative analogies of tundra adaptations, this curriculum ensures an educational adventure that resonates with young minds.
