• The world is divided into areas, known as biomes. A biome is made up of all the life, plant or animal, present within it. The continent of Australia has one of the most diverse ranges of biomes in the world.
    • Have students research what biome their school sits in. What kind of plants, animals and weather can be expected in this type of biome?
       
  • Similarly to biomes, the World is also divided into climate zones.
  • With the above information. What types of natural events might be problem for the climate and biome in which the school sits? Are floods and cyclones a possibility? Is major drought? How prepared is the area to deal with a natural disaster now and in the future?
     
  • Have students devise a travel brochure for a nature-focused holiday company. Research a biome anywhere in the world and use persuasive writing techniques to promote that destination as a holiday location. Some inspiration might include:
    • What kinds of plants and animals can visitors see?
    • What kind of weather events might they witness?
    • How should they dress?
    • How can they stay safe in the climate?
    • Is the area in danger? How can they help preserve the biome during their visit?
    • Are there any plants or animals found nowhere else they might see?
