This lesson aligns with the UK National Curriculum for Science, specifically focusing on the classification of living things, the variety and diversity in the natural world, and ecosystems.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Biomes | 5 minutes | Begin with a brief introduction to biomes. Explain what biomes are and their importance. |
| 2 | Types of Biomes | 10 minutes | Show images or posters of different biomes (e.g., desert, rainforest, tundra, grassland). Discuss key features of each biome. |
| 3 | Group Activity | 10 minutes | Divide students into small groups. Assign each group a specific biome to research briefly using the internet or provided materials. Each group creates a poster summarising their biome. |
| 4 | Group Presentations and Feedback | 5 minutes | Groups display their posters around the classroom. Students walk around, providing feedback using sticky notes. Homework task is introduced. |
| 5 | Closing Discussion | 5 minutes | Gather as a whole class to reflect on what they learned about biomes. Address any questions. Adjust homework as needed. |
Students will complete a worksheet that requires them to describe the biome they studied in their group activity, including key features, plants, and animals found in that biome. Students will submit their worksheets for marking without oral presentations in class.
