3rd Grade Biomes Project
1. Each student has been given a job: Zoologist, Botanist, Meteorologist or Environmentalist. Your group has selected one of the biomes to explore. Use your graphic organizer, the biomes websites and books from the library to gather your information. Remember to write the information in your own words.
2. Now that you have gathered all of your information, you are ready to collect images for your ScrapPad. A ScrapPad is a scrapbook on the iPad. Take turns finding 4 images for each job for your ScrapPad page. Make sure the images link to your information. Some examples of pictures are landscapes of your biome, an animal or plant or the weather in your biome. You will also need to find a couple images for the title page. You can find these images as a group. Directions for finding pictures are below.
Choosing and saving a picture:
1. Go to the "Morgue Files" bookmark icon and type what you are looking for in the search box on the left and tap "return".
2. Browse the images.
3. When you find the one you like, tap the picture then tap "Download Image" next to your picture. Tap and hold on the picture and press "Save Image". It is now saved to your camera roll.
3. Finally it is time to make your digital project. Follow these directions to use ScrapPad. Each team member should get a turn creating their project page. Remember to rely on your group for help. We can't wait to see how your projects look!
4. Once you are done with your projects and have saved it to the library, it's time to upload it to UClass. Decide on which log in you will use. Upload your assignment. Once you are done uploading, log into your UClass account and comment on the projects. How is your biome similar? How is it different?
