This project is a great addition to your habitats or ecosystems unit. It can be used as a supplemental learning resource or as an alternative assessment. It includes 8 vibrantly colored biome posters in addition to the cube biome pages. Detailed step-by-step assembly instructions are also provided. This resource includes eight different biomes. When assembled, each 3-D biome cube contains four biomes. It is at the teacher’s discretion to make this an individual or group project, and whether students pick the biomes they want to work on or if they are assigned. The biome pictures contain enough details to show students the main features of each, while leaving room to draw in additional plants and animals to demonstrate an understanding of each biome. On the front of each cube side, students write a description of the biome as well as listing plants and animals found there and the locations where the biome exists. And, these finished resources will look great when displayed in your classroom! The following biomes are included: ★ Rainforest Biome ★ Grassland Biome ★ Marine Biome ★ Desert Biome ★ Freshwater Biome ★ Tundra Biome ★ Deciduous Forest Biome ★ Taiga Biome (Boreal Forest) Four biomes go on each “cube.” They actually form triangular prisms, but I’m counting the air inside each where kids can add pop-up animals, modeling clay, etc. so I call them cubes. :) Enjoy! ~ SunnyDaze on TPT

Not only must students design their village, they must also work out the costs involved with each building relating to the ground rent, paint for the walls and tiles for the roofs. There are activities and problem solving questions based on the task, that are available for students who need extension work. Finished products can be laminated for a super wall display. Can be set as a class or year group competition and entries displayed.

This booklet includes everything you need to immerse your pupils in a project that will encourage teamwork, creativity and perseverance. This is a perfect project for Year 6 after the SATS, to prepare for the transition to highschool and have some fun. Pupils work together to design a theme park, adhering to the costing limits, as well as creating designs and advertising campaigns that have links to maths, english, science, computing and DT. There are also opportunities to extend this project into different areas, depending on your pupils needs. This project can take as long or as little time as you want. Each team has a booklet and will come up with a name for their theme park. Groups will then assign each other a job role in their company so that some children can take a lead in designing, accounting, managing, and research. In this booklet, groups calculate the cost of their theme park for one day, the income made from admissions, and the total profit of the theme park. They will then do an advertising campaign, this could include a newspaper article, a poster, a radio advert or anything the children can come up with. There is also an opportunity to design a rollercoaster, and then build a prototype of this rollercoaster, using their knowledge from DT. At the end of the project, a company is chosen to build the theme park. This is based on a presentation of their ideas and the points gained throughout the project for teamwork, communication and perseverance. Included is an editable version of the booklet so you can adapt it to meet your class’ needs, as well as teaching slides that accompany the team booklet.

A ‘Fun with a Ruler’ art project that involves drawing parabolic curves (curves that are made by drawing a series of straight lines). This project involves your students ruling straight lines between 2 dots on a template. When they have finished drawing all of the lines they can give their artwork some colour.

Instructions: Simple, clear, easy-to-follow instructions are provided. One instruction per page (image and a sentence). Display the instructions via a data projector if you have access to one. Otherwise print and enlarge them and/or demonstrate on an enlarged template. Equipment: You need a ruler and a pen (black works best). Something to colour with (eg coloured pencils, watercolours, felt tip markers, chalk pastels, dye, etc) Size: Each square measures approximately 18.5cm x 18.5cm. Designed on A4 size paper.
