Biology I College PrepLesson 2: Biomes
Using one i-Pad in a classroom
DAY 1 and 2• Students will take notes on the definitions for
ecosystem and biome.• Students will fill in a table with data about different
terrestrial biomes using the textbook:– Name of biome– Abiotic Factors (temperature and precipitation ranges)– Biotic Factors (types of plants and animals)– Locations
DAYS 1 and 2
• Students will listen to “My Biome Song” by Mr. Parr
DAY 3•Students will view a video from the i-Pad to Promethean Board (Ecosystems and Biomes) to gather more information for the Biome Table.•Students will be given the lyrics to the song and will sing it in class.
Data that can be obtained:
Definitions
Abiotic factors and locations
Biotic factors
Even data on water biomes
• The Biome Table will be graded.• Information on the biomes will be on a test along
with other information from other indicators.
• This is also a way that students who are absent can get the information easily when they return. The teacher can give the student the i-Pad with the information to get the missed work.
