Product Description
Biomes is a Notebooking Central booklet featured in our Topic Investigation series. The Notebook Foldables found in a Topic Investigation title are based on content standards that help students develop tested skills or achieve deeper understanding of the most important ideas associated with the topic. This 26-page booklet covers land biomes (desert, grasslands, forest, tropical forest, temperate forest, boreal forest or taiga, and tundra) and aquatic biomes (freshwater, lake, freshwater wetlands, streams and rivers, river, estuary and shoreline, coastal, and open ocean), as well as general information about biomes--please see Table of Contents for complete list of topics.
The front tabs of Topic Foldables have memorable main ideas and graphics that students can underline, highlight, and enhance in ways that will individualize them. Students interact under the tabs by taking notes, summarizing, describing, questioning, explaining, sequencing, defining, diagramming, listing, and recording opinions, observations, or data. Notebook Foldables should generate meaningful debates and discussions that lead to student-generated questions, conclusions, and/or concerns for further research.
Additional Topic Investigations include: Oceanography, Determining Geologic Time, The First 20 Elements
The Topic Investigations and broader Notebooking Central series are designed to complement your curriculum.
