**Biome Project **


 * How do I change the Earth? **

You will demonstrate your knowledge of your biome by gathering data (from textbook, websites, and online databases) and creating an informative & creative webpage on our Biome Wiki. Your project will include different types of information & products as explained below.

Your project should: 1) show what you know about your biome, 2) demonstrate teamwork, with all members contributing significant information and knowledge, 3) demonstrate understanding of the elements of issues facing your biome, and 4) should have a layout that is well ordered for others to be able to find your information & pictures. **__ All words need to be your own, do not cut and paste anything from the Internet. __**

**Webpage:** ¶ Page title (that looks like a title) & creator’s names (Remember NO last names.) ¶ Pictures (3-5) with captions ¶ List of basic facts- Create a list with a minimum of 10 important quantitative & qualitative facts about your topic. ¶ Food Web containing: 5 producers & consumers; 2 decomposers; arrows showing energy flows; uses pictures of organisms. ¶ Video (see below) ¶  Controversies/ Future plans ¶ Works Cited – You must use at least 3 sources per person. (At least one must be a print source.)
