Biome Project

Biome Storybook Project
Directions:
You and a partner are to create a children’s storybook about the biomes of the Earth.
The goal of this storybook is to teach the reader about the global factors as well as the local factors that influence a biome.

Minimum Requirements
o The storybook can be either hand drawn or produced on PowerPoint. (a combination of both is also fine)
o Must have a logical and well thought storyline with developed characters and plot.
o Your characters must visit a minimum of 10 separate biomes. (terrestrial and aquatic)
o There must be a minimum of 3 abiotic and 3 biotic factors shown in the graphic or discussed per biome.(local)
o You must explain why these factors exist from a global perspective. I.e. rain shadow effect in the Andes as a result of the direction of airflow in that section of the world.
o Must have a front cover with graphic, title and names of authors.
o Must have a back cover with a short Authors biography.
