• We will follow the above instructions to create our own biomes!

Reminder…Biome steps

1. Add your rocks to the plastic bottle bottom.2. Add in soil.3. Add in a small amount of grass seed.4. Moisten the soil with water.5. Label your plastic bag with your block number

and team member’s names.6. Place the plastic bottle into the baggie and seal.

Make sure you leave some air in the bag.7. Put your biome along the back window for
