You are a travel agent hired to design a travel brochure featuring one of the major biomes: tundra, tropical rainforest, desert, deciduous forest, grassland, savannah, Boreal forest, and chaparral. You will choose one (1) of the biomes. You may talk in general about that type of biome or choose a specific location located in that biome.
In Google Docs, click on Create and Search for templates. You will find a science brochure template in there to use.

or you can use a Canva template below:
Page 1
Create a cover that is attractive, capturing and inviting. The cover should lure would- be vacationers to your area. The cover should include: 1. The name of the biome 2. A web-based picture of features in the biome. 3. A Slogan, quote or greeting that grabs the attention of the reader.
Page Two: Location and Description of the Biome: 1. A world map with color coding to show the location(s) where the biome is found. The location(s) must be clearly labeled with the name of the biome. 2. A general description of the biome 3. A description of any special landmark and/or feature (mountains, lakes, etc.)
Page Three: Plants and Animals - Biotic Factors 1. Describe the dominant plants in the biome. Describe any adaptations they have that enables them to live in your biome. Include an Internet based drawing of these organisms. (At least 2 plants) 2. Describe the dominant animals in the biome. Describe any adaptations they have that enables them to live in your biome. Include an Internet based drawing of these organisms. (At least 2 animals) 3. A decomposer (mushrooms, molds, fungi)
Page Four : Climate, Soil, Rainfall – Abiotic Factors 1. Create a climographs of your biome from the previous year. 2. In a paragraph, describe the high and low amounts of precipitation, the high and low temperature, and the patterns in the climographs. 3. Based on the climograph, suggest a good time to visit the biome and give a reason why.
Page Five: A Food Chain or web from the Biome 1. Must include an illustration for each organism 2. Must include at least four organisms 3. Must include the name of each organism 4. Include arrows in food to show the direction of the energy flow. 5. Label and describe food chain/web. Include the following vocabulary words: Trophic levels, producers, primary consumers, secondary consumer, autotrophs, heterotrophs, herbivore, carnivore, and/or omnivore, decomposer.
Page 6:Choose an environmental, social or economic issue (pillars of sustainability) that the people who live in your biome deal with. Describe the issue. Use at least one of the pillars of sustainability to explain how the issue is being either successfully or unsuccessfully being dealt with.
Research Guide
Title Page:
1. The name of the biome:
2. A Slogan, quote or greeting that grabs the attention of the reader.
3. Ideas for a picture?
Location and Description of the Biome:
4. Where is the biome located? (Remember, you use a general biome or choose a specific location, for example, a city or national park located in that biome).
5. A general description of the biome
6. A description of any special landmark and/or feature (mountains, lakes, etc.)
Plants and Animals - Biotic Factors
4. Describe the dominant plants in the biome. Describe any adaptations they have that enables them to live in your biome. Include an Internet based drawing of these organisms. (At least 2 plants)
5. Describe the dominant animals in the biome. Describe any adaptations they have that enables them to live in your biome. Include an Internet based drawing of these organisms. (At least 2 animals).
6. A decomposer (mushrooms, molds, fungi):
Climate, Soil, Rainfall – Abiotic Factors

5. Create a climograph of your biome from the previous year. ** you must create your own on this paper, for the brochure, you can use one that is already complete.
6. In a paragraph, describe the high and low amounts of precipitation, the high and low temperature, and the patterns in the climographs.
7. Based on the climograph, suggest a good time to visit the biome and give a reason why.
A Food Chain or web from the Biome
8. Sketch a picture of a food chain or a food web. Use the organisms from “Page Two: Plants and Animals - Biotic Factors”. Must include at least four organisms including a decomposer. Include arrows in food to show the direction of the energy flow.
Label and describe food chain/web. Include the following vocabulary words: Trophic levels, producers, primary consumers, secondary consumer, autotrophs, heterotrophs, herbivore, carnivore, and/or omnivore, decomposer
Environmental, Social, Economic
9.Choose an environmental, social or economic issue that the people who live in your biome deal with. Describe the issue. Use at least one of the pillars of sustainability to explain how the issue is being either successfully or unsuccessfully being dealt with.
