Food Chain, Consumers, and Biomes OH MY!

These activities go along with Classical Conversations Cycle 2 Science weeks 1, 2, 3, and 5.

This post has the lesson plan and resources that I will use with the Journeyman and Masters level students (outside of community day) so you can use these resources too.   I will add another post after we complete the study so you can see how our event turned out. 

We will begin with a biome study.  I am going to use the Biome Fact Pack from Teachers Pay Teachers.  When the students arrive they will get a survival journal.  The biome facts will be all over the room for them to find.  They will need to gather as much information as they can for their survival journals.  Their journals will also contain a biome map for them to color code.

After they everyone has gotten information added to their survival journals we will do a biome survival activity.  The students will need to use the information they gathered in their journals to help them survive.

We will finish the study with a fun survival of the fittest consumers game.  You can get this game on Teachers Pay Teachers as well.
