2
Instructions… -Grab a puzzle piece -Find the rest of your group members -Build your puzzle and read the facts
3
Discuss -What Biome did you have? -What is a biome? -With your group, choose three of the most interesting facts you read about your biome -What do those facts suggest about your biome?

Operational Plan Energy Lost Counter Energy Kept Counter Energy Passers (3) Recorder Name of Student Job Description This student will count the popcorn that falls on the floor after the popcorn has been passed to the next trophic level (cup) and tell the recorder This student will count the popcorn that remains in each cup after the popcorn has been passed to the next trophic level (cup) and tell the recorder These students will pass the popcorn from one trophic level to the next (one cup to the next) starting with the largest and descending. This student will record the data during the demonstratio n/lab. Operational Plan
