Using an interactive whiteboard, show students pictures of different ecosystems. Good examples could be: desert, tundra, prairie, mountains, woodlands and rainforest.
Ask students questions on the pictures: where is it? what animals do you think live there? what plants? what's the weather like?
Explain that each pictures shows an ecosystem and that each ecosystem has different characteristics.
Give students worksheet 1. Look at each ecosystem and explain characteristics in terms of flora, landscapes and rain fall. Ask students to colour the pictures accordingly.
Ask students to prepare a 2 x 3 baseboard on their exercise books. Students cut pictures from worksheet 1 and stick them on the baseboard.
Give students worksheet 2 and ask them to cut out all the single pieces of information.
Ask students to match titles to pictures. Then work through weather information and ask students to match rainfall and pictures. Finally, students match pictures and flora information.
The match card can be used in class as a basis for an oral presentation or as reference material.
