Summary: Learn about how humans interact with their environment by creating your own mini self-sustaining biome!

Students will explore what makes up a biome as they create their own mini version in a plastic cup and bag. They will be challenged to consider the elements that make up their biome and how their actions affect these elements (and vice versa).

NOTE:

  • The students will be planting seeds in their biomes-you may want to consider keeping them in the classroom to watch for growth after the activity is over.
