Biome Project: Parent Information & Timeline

This school year, students will complete a Biome Research Project in Life Science. Each student will be assigned a biome to research, including its climate, plants, animals, food web, and human impact. Students will use their research to create a tri-fold poster and deliver a short presentation in May 2027.

Please don’t feel overwhelmed by the timeline! We will work on this project little by little throughout the school year, with guided lessons, classroom work time, and smaller checkpoints to help students stay on track. Students are not expected to complete the entire project at home or all at once.

Please check this website for project instructions, resources, and updates throughout the year. Our goal is to help students build their research, organization, and presentation skills one step at a time!
