Podcasting Crusader's Style

Student's will be sent on a mission as a group of scientists studying a specific biome of their choice. The students' job is to develop a podcast where factual information is read about a biome & the events of interest that make it sensitive to the world.

Students will research the following aspects of their biome:
1. 3 abiotic & 3 biotic factors of the biome.
2. 2 food chains found in this biome including at least 4 organisms in each.
3. Include the following vocabulary: biome, ecosystem, organism, biotic factors, abiotic factor, & food chain
4. Human impact on this biome.
5. How to reduce the human impact on this biome.
6. Representative flora & fauna of this biome.
7. Weather reports & charts on this biome.
8. A map of this biome's location.

The students will need to include many pictures, charts, and graphs, as well as write a script for the podcast. The podcast should include reports by specialists, investigators, weather/climate reporters, and special interest reporters (conservationists, biologists, etc. A reference page of all research will need to accompany the script. There is no specific length requirement as long as all the required information is portrayed in the podcast.
