This document provides instructions for creating a biome in a jar by drawing and coloring features that identify the location, main characteristics, climate, flora and fauna, and human impacts of a biome studied in class. Students are asked to select a biome, depict its key elements in a jar, and annotate the jar's exterior to describe the biome's distribution, defining features, climate, examples of adapted plants and animals, and human influences.

1. Select a biome that we have gone through in class.
2. Create a biome in a jar by drawing and colouring features that identify: a. The location/global distribution of the biome b. One main characteristic c. The climate (temperature and rainfall) d. Examples of the flora and fauna e. Human alterations/threats 3. Annotate the features/elements on the outside to identify/describe/explain: a. The location/global distribution of the biome b. One main characteristic c. The climate (temperature and rainfall) d. Examples of the flora and fauna and how they have adapted to the environment e. Human alterations/threats
