Sharing Information About Biomes - Earth Day Assembly

Unit of Inquiry

Central idea: Humans interact with our physical environment 

in a variety of ways.

As a culminating activity the children were 'in role' as famous scientists, who studied specific biomes around the world. The focus of the unit was to think critically about how humans interact within these biomes and the effect that it has on this planet. Earth Day was the perfect day to share our information!

We met:

• Professor Fish who studied the marine biome and told us that plastic rubbish is a big problem in the oceans.
• Professor Pine Tree was the expert scientist on the mountain biome.
• Professor Polar Bear explained the importance of the Tundra biome.
• Professor Gassy shared with us some animals that depend on the grassland biome.
• Professor Brook explained that we should keep our rivers clean so we can use them safely.
• Professor Caterpillar explained about the two different seasons of the rainforest biome.
• Professor Rocky Sands explained how deserts are formed.
