Terrestrial Biomes Project

Looking for a fun, creative way to get your students excited about Earth’s ecosystems? The Terrestrial Biomes Project is a week-long, research-based activity that challenges students to dive deep into one of Earth’s terrestrial biomes—then pitch it as the perfect setting for the next season of Survivor!

Why Your Students Will Love This Project:

• Creative & Engaging – They’ll take on the role of biome “ambassadors” and convince producers that their biome has everything a survival show needs.
• Real Research, Real Skills – Students gather and present info about climate, biodiversity, and adaptations while practicing persuasive writing and speaking.
• Flexible & Student-Centered – Great for individuals or groups, and easily adjustable for in-class or remote learning.
• Cross-Curricular Connections – Combines science, geography, writing, and public speaking in one exciting project.

What’s Included:

• Project Overview & Instructions – Clear steps and expectations to guide students from start to finish.
• Point Breakdown for Each Task – Easy for students to track their progress and stay organized.
• Sample Content – Gives students a model to follow and helps spark ideas.

Teacher Tip: Kick things off with a quick biome overview using a presentation or video clips so students can choose the one that interests them most. Then, space the project over several days—research, writing, creating, and presenting—so students have time to dig deep and do their best work.

This project is a great way to wrap up your biomes unit or introduce it with a bang. Perfect for middle and high school classrooms, and your students won’t forget it anytime soon!
