Biome in a Box Project

Students are asked to build a three-dimensional model of a biome in a box (larger than a shoebox) using everyday materials. Included in the model should be representative examples of flora and fauna, and it should show the terrain (mountainous, flat, shoreline, etc.). The inside walls of the box should be decorated (painted, collaged with photos, etc.). Taped onto one side of the box should be a written description of all of the characteristics of the biome (elevation, precipitation levels, temperature, flora, fauna, etc.). Taped onto the other side of the box is a world map indicating (by color, outline, etc.) the locations of this biome.
