How to Create a Biome Brochure

A biome brochure is a type of school science project with which kids will find it easy to learn about ecosystems, how they work and what they do. The project involves the creation of a biome brochure in which the child describes an ecological issue/concern and all of the scientific data revolving around that issue or concern. Writing the information out in a brochure format, including graphics and clip art, is more entertaining. The student can use software already on her computer such as Microsoft Word for the brochure creation.

Click “Start,” then “All Programs,” then click “Microsoft Office” and, finally, “Microsoft Word” to open Microsoft Word on your computer.

Click “File” then “New” to start a new document and then select “Brochures and booklets” from the left-hand column on the window that appears.

Click “Brochures ” in the center of the window that appears and then select any of the brochure templates that appear.

Click “Download” to download, install and use the brochure template you selected. Note that you must be connected to the Internet in order to download the brochure template.

Select the first text box on the brochure and replace all of the text in that text box with text that describes the ecological issues/concern of the biome which your biome brochure will deal with. Include catastrophic events and the human impact on said events.

Select the second text box on the brochure template and replace all of the text in that text box with text that describes all the sources and works cited for your biome brochure.

Select the third text box on the brochure template and replace all of the text in that text box with a descriptive title for your biome brochure, a description of the biome you will be discussing, the location of said biome and general characteristics. Examples of what might be a good biome to cover include The Rocky Mountains in North America, the Amazon Rainforest in South America or the Sahara in Africa.

Select the fourth text box on the brochure and replace all of the text in that text box with a description of all of the physical, non-living features of your biome. Here you would include temperature, precipitation, landforms, bodies of water and other physical features of the biome you are covering. Example of what might be included if you are covering something like the Rocky Mountains are the different mountain peaks, rivers and valleys located within the Rocky Mountains.

Select the fifth text box on the brochure and replace all of the text in that text box with a description of all of the biotic, living features of your biome. Here you would include some of the different types of plants and animals living within your biome. Examples of what might be included if you were covering something like the Amazon Rainforest are anacondas, piranhas and cocoa trees.

Select the sixth text box on the brochure template and replace all of the text in that text box with a description of competition and predator-prey relations between the plants and animals in your biome.

Select the seventh text box on the brochure template and replace all of the text in that text box with a description of different adaptations that the plants and animals in the biome you are describing have made in order to survive in that particular biome.

Go to an image search engine on the Internet such as Google, Bing or Yahoo and search for images having to do with the biome you are describing in your biome brochure. Right-click the image, select “Save image as…” and then click “Save” to save the image to your computer.

Replace all the images on the brochure template with images having to do with your biome brochure. Select the image you are going to replace, click “Insert” and then “picture,” browse through your computer for the image you want to replace that image with, select the new image and then click “Insert” and Word will automatically replace the images for you.

Take a Tour of a Biome

In this lesson, students learn about the five biomes as they create a promotional travel brochure that provides information and an itinerary for a visit.

More and more people are deciding to spend their vacation time travelling to far away places. As a result, a local travel agency wants to offer biome vacation packages. The owner has asked for your help to create brochures that entice its customers to take a tour of a biome.

Complete a Biomes KWHL chart as a class to get students thinking about biomes that exist around the world, activate prior knowledge, and assess what students already know about biomes.

Using your text book, online resources, and videos to introduce students to the different biomes found on Earth.

Once students have a foundational understanding about all of the biomes, group students into teams of 3-4. Assign each team the task of creating a travel brochure for a tour through a specific biome.

Have student teams research the following questions about their biome:

• Where does the biome exist?
• What plants and animals live in the biome?
• What is the climate like in the biome?
• What food chains exist in the biome?
• What landforms exist in the biome?
• What places of interest are found in this biome?
• What makes this biome interesting to visit?

When each group has collected a solid amount of information, ask them to complete a Venn Diagram comparing life in that time and place to life now. This will help you identify misconceptions and will help them identify unique features of their biome to include in their brochures.

You can have student teams use other graphic organizers before they begin writing to:

• explore ways their audience might feel with a fact vs. opinion chart.
• determine what information to share or skip with a pros vs. cons chart.

Try creating graphic organizers with your students in Wixie.

Give students time to complete additional research as they begin to organize their information.

Have students use create an itinerary, brochure, or even a advertisement for a tour of their biome. For example, a biome advertisement could include:

• A map of where this biome exists.
• Landforms that exist in the biome.
• Student-drawn pictures.
• Information about the biome’s climate.
• Examples of food chains which exist within the biome.
• Places a visitor should be sure to see.
• Reasons and stories that illustrate why people should visit this biome.

Have students use a publishing tool to combine their text and images and print their travel brochures.

If you have access to a digital tool like Wixie , you can print the brochures or share student work digitally in PDF form or online through a URL. This allows them to create vivid travel “infomercials” with culturally appropriate sounds and voice narration!

Print the brochures and display them to celebrate student effort and take a jigsaw approach to learning so that each group is responsible for helping other students learn more about the specific biome in their project. You may also want to share these in your school library or media center so other students in the school can explore them to learn about history.

Have each team present the information in their brochure orally to the rest of the class, helping them combine informational and argument writing and speaking. You may want to ask a representative or two travel agencies to review the brochures and oral presentations and provide feedback.

You may also want to host an evening event, in the form of a tourism trade show, where families and community members can learn more about visiting different biomes.

The students will conduct research of their biome of choice.

The students will synthesize their knowledge based upon their research to create their digital travel brochure. This project must include various facts about the particular biome, including a persuasive argument as to why tourists should visit their biome.
