Learning Goals
Students will be able to explain how abiotic and biotic factors shape biome characteristics and biodiversity
Students will be able to analyze ecological succession in a selected biome using evidence from disturbance and recovery patterns
Students will be able to construct a scale model of a biome that represents trophic relationships, habitat features, and succession stages
Students will be able to interpret quantitative expressions that describe population change and resource availability in biome ecosystems
Students will be able to present research findings about biome biodiversity and succession using accurate scientific vocabulary and visuals
Students will be able to revise a digital portfolio using peer feedback and reflection to improve evidence of learning about biomes

Biome Research Portfolio with Succession and Biodiversity Analysis
Students create an individual digital portfolio that documents research on one biome, including notes, visuals, and a written analysis of biodiversity and ecological succession. The portfolio serves as evidence of each student’s independent content mastery and understanding of ecosystem change.
Scale Biome Model and Eco-Market Fair Exhibit Booth
Teams design a detailed scale model of a selected biome and a public-facing exhibit booth for the Eco-Market Fair. The exhibit must teach visitors about biome features, biodiversity, succession, and ecological change through visuals, explanations, and an interactive element.
