You are a member of an educational design team
employed by a toy company. Your task is to design and construct a board game that will challenge and assist students in their
study of biomes. The game you create will take the players through the eight different biomes where they
must encounter each of the following key ideas:
- characteristic plants and animals
- climate conditions
- unique features
- interrelationship among organisms
- causes of environmental destruction, either natural or human
The design of the game must require participants to utilize factual knowledge
as well as make judgments concerning environmental issues unique to each
biome.
Your team will research, organize and prioritize the data; design the rules
of the game; and construct the actual game.
Notes to the teacher: For this activity, the class should be divided into
teams of four students each. If your students decide to use
"fact" type cards, you may wish to require them to produce an
answer booklet. "Situation" type cards may be left open ended
with players judging appropriate responses.
