Where Children Sleep

Here is the link to revel the city and country that corresponds to the pictures from the book, Where Children Sleep by James Mollison.

We will take a closer look at these countries and compare specific data and draw conclusions.

When we think about the Earth and what life is like for the plants, animals and humans of a particular location, are all places the same? What similarities do they share and how are they different?

Today we will look at 4 different biomes, one of which you can pick.

Let's start by watching a Brainpop, then we will get our sheets organized to record our info. Last we will head to the library and computer lab to do some research.
