This 8 week  course will focus on seven of the major land biomes on the planet. Each week will focus on one of the biomes in depth, and students will learn about the locations, organisms in that environment, along with the adaptations required for them to survive. They will create an ongoing biome map of the world to locate each one as they move through the course, along with a personal journal of what they learn about each biome so they can evaluate and choose a biome to move to at the end of the course. The course will be interactive through NearPod  presentations, journal writing with teacher feedback, games such as Quizzlet, Gimkit, andBlooket, and a culminating scavenger hunt of the world. There will also be  optional cross-curricular extensions each week. Teacher feedback will be posted within one week of product submission each week, and all messages are answered within 24 hours.
The course begins with learning what a biome is and how it differs from an ecosystem or habitat.  Then learners will explore a different biome each week.  We will cover deserts, both cold and hot, tropical rainforest, temperate forests, tundra, taiga, and grasslands.
Students will have the opportunities to build a rainforest in a bottle, make a grassland diorama, create multimedia presentations, play games, and create their own game. The final week will include a digital escape room that covers all of the course material.
Teacher created videos accompany each week's lesson. All learning styles are addressed, with many opportunities for student choice.
