Instructional Ideas

• Each individual should create and describe an imaginary organism, complete with several specific adaptations, that could live in a particular biome
• Divide the class into groups and have each one create a slideshow presentation describing what would occur if pollution destroyed elements necessary for biome survival

Classroom Considerations

• Provide examples of creative organisms to help students who may feel less creative

Pros

• May be modified and used for differentiated instruction as needed
• No preparation or cleanup is necessary

Cons

• None
