Biomes- Graph Precipitation
Since students never get enough practice graphing, use this next time you're going through the biomes. After filling in temperature and annual precipitation data for each of the 7 biomes,
they'll make a bar graph. And then it will be easy for them to remember how much precipitation falls annually in each, and how they compare. Follow the directions in the notes section of the PowerPoint.

About the "Interactive Science Teacher" |
|
My name is Bill Wilkinson (students just call me "Mr. W") and I love teaching science!
In the 15 years I've taught one thing has remained constant-
ALL students learn better when their their hands and minds work together.
Currently my title is Science Liaison for Vigo County Schools in
Terre Haute, Indiana, where I teach daily in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade classrooms in several different middle schools.
I am proud to say that every lesson on this site is an original that I really did with real students.
Only lessons that achieve a rich balance of natural curiosity, science standards, content, and appeal to all students
are good enough for this site.
