Description

Bring ecosystems and biomes to life with this Ecosystems & Biomes Mobile Project! This hands-on activity engages students as they create a hanging mobile representing various ecosystems, from deserts and grasslands to coral reefs and estuaries. Perfect for upper elementary grades, this resource allows students to review key concepts while incorporating art and creativity into science. With three different mobile options and terminology that fits any district’s needs, this interdisciplinary activity is ideal for meeting Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

  • 3-LS4-3: Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.
  • 4-ESS2-2: Analyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth’s features.
  • 5-ESS2-1: Develop a model to describe interactions between Earth’s systems (biosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and atmosphere).


What Concepts & Skills Are Covered?

  • Biomes and ecosystems (deserts, tundras, forests, coral reefs, etc.)
  • Characteristics of ecosystems (climate, plants, animals, and locations)
  • Critical thinking and creativity as students build models
  • Understanding how ecosystems support life and how they differ
  • Real-world application of NGSS standards


What’s Included?

  • Three different mobile options: Rectangle foldables, circle foldables, or picture-based options
  • A variety of ecosystems: Deserts, grasslands, tundras, rainforests, oceans, coral reefs, and more
  • Headers and terminology options: Choose between "Ecosystem" or "Biome" depending on your curriculum
  • Ready-to-print directions for students and teachers
  • Digital and printable formats for flexibility

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSS3-LS4-3
Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all. Examples of evidence could include needs and characteristics of the organisms and habitats involved. The organisms and their habitat make up a system in which the parts depend on each other.
NGSS5-ESS2-1
Develop a model using an example to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact. Examples could include the influence of the ocean on ecosystems, landform shape, and climate; the influence of the atmosphere on landforms and ecosystems through weather and climate; and the influence of mountain ranges on winds and clouds in the atmosphere. The geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere are each a system. Assessment is limited to the interactions of two systems at a time.
NGSS4-ESS2-2
Analyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth’s features. Maps can include topographic maps of Earth’s land and ocean floor, as well as maps of the locations of mountains, continental boundaries, volcanoes, and earthquakes.
