Dive into an interactive learning experience where Kenwood Elementary School students explore various biomes! Ignite curiosity with thought-provoking questions, and assess what students already know regarding ecosystems, organisms, and the relationships within them. Cover essential concepts such as life cycles, food chains, and the basic needs of plants and animals. This program emphasizes understanding environmental characteristics, the water cycle, and the roles of different organisms like producers, consumers, and decomposers.

Biomes:Begin with an blankcanvas! Let the questions fly! Find out what students know and don’t know!
PondSC-EP-4.7.1: The world has many different environments. Organisms require an environment in which their needs can be met. SC-EP-3.4.4: Students will describe a variety of plant and animal life cycles to understand patterns of the growth, development, reproduction and death of an organism. RI.4.4: Determine the meaning of domain specific words in a text.
RI.4.10: Text Complexity: Plants make their own food. “All animals depend on plants for food; even animals that don’t eat plants.” Forest SC-04-4.6.1: Students will analyze patterns and make generalizations about the basic relationships of plants and animals in an ecosystem (food chain).
DesertSS-EP-4.2.1: Students will describe places on Earth’s surface by their physical characteristics (e.g., climate, landforms, bodies of water). SC-EP-4.6.2 Students will describe evidence of the sun providing light and heat to the Earth.
Water Cycle SC-05-2.3.1 Students will: describe the circulation of water (water cycle) RI.4.10: Text Complexity RI.4.1: Key Ideas: Refer to details in the text explaining what the text say explicitly.
Predator/Prey Predator Prey Predator Prey Predator Prey Prey Predator Predator SC-EP-4.7.1 Students will describe the cause and effect relationships existing between organisms and their environments.
Decomposers Decomposerssuch as bacteria, maggots, mold, earthworms and fungi use waste materials and dead organisms for food. • SC-05-4.7.1: Students will describe and categorize populations of organisms according to the function they serve in an ecosystem (e.g., decomposers); draw conclusions about the effects of changes to populations in an ecosystem. RI.4.7: Interpret information presented visually in charts, photos, insets, etc.
What Organisms Need! Air, Water, Food, and Light! SC-EP-3.4.1Students will explain the basic needs of organisms.Organisms have basic needs. For example, animals need air, water and food; plants need air, water, nutrients and light. Organisms can survive only in environments in which their needs can be met. Light Air Food Water
