With these easy-prep file folder centers, students will work in small groups to read and discuss concepts in an engaging way. Students will find colorful images, kid-friendly text, and hands-on activities with each file folder center!

Simply print out each folder's content, glue inside a file folder and provide the corresponding response activities related to each biome. Students can rotate through each center and learn along the way!

Teacher Directions for assembling each folder is provided for easy set-up!

In each folder students will work in small groups to:

• Learn the characteristics of each biome

• Explore a map of where the biome is found

• Use fact cards to learn details about each biome

• Explore different animals found in the biome

• View real images of the biomes landscape

• Complete a biome field guide as students learn about each biome

Students will learn about the following biomes

• Grasslands (temperate and tropical)

• Desert

• Deciduous Forest

• Taiga

• Tundra

• Rainforest

Your students will love being able to move around the room, explore new information, and share their learning with each other. They will be practicing communication and collaboration skills as they engage in discussions about their biomes discoveries.

Save time with your lesson planning, especially if your district doesn’t have a science curriculum or if you need to supplement your current program. These fun folders include all your students need for small group centers. You can laminate them and reuse them year after year!
