Objectives (5 - 10 minutes)

1. Understand the concept of biome and its importance for life on Earth: Students should be able to define what a biome is, identify the main biomes on the planet, and understand the relationship between biodiversity and biomes.

2. Identify Brazilian biomes and their distinct characteristics: In this objective, students should be able to recognize the biomes present in Brazil, describe their physical, climatic, and biological characteristics, and understand the importance of conserving each one.

3. Analyze the impacts of human actions on biomes: Students should be able to identify and discuss the main threats to Brazilian biomes, as well as the consequences of these threats for biodiversity and the population.

Secondary Objectives

1. Stimulate critical thinking and environmental awareness: In addition to the specific content, the lesson should aim to develop in students a critical attitude towards environmental issues and an awareness of the importance of preserving biomes.

2. Promote research and teamwork: Through practical activities and group discussions, students should be encouraged to seek information and formulate arguments, thus developing research and teamwork skills.

Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

1. Review of Previous Content:

   • The teacher should review the concepts of ecosystem, food chain, and biodiversity, which were previously addressed. These concepts are fundamental for understanding the topic of biomes. (3 - 5 minutes)

2. Problem Situations:

   • "Why, even with all current technologies and knowledge, can't we replicate the diversity and complexity of a biome in a controlled environment?"
   • "How can human actions affect the biodiversity and ecosystems of a biome?" (3 - 5 minutes)

3. Contextualization:

   • The teacher should contextualize the importance of studying biomes, citing examples such as the importance of the Amazon Rainforest in regulating global climate and the richness of biodiversity found in Brazilian biomes. (2 - 3 minutes)

4. Engage Students' Attention:

   • Curiosity 1: "Did you know that Brazil is the country with the highest biodiversity in the world? And that this diversity is directly linked to our biomes, such as the Amazon Rainforest and the Pantanal?"
   • Curiosity 2: "Did you know that, despite covering only 2% of the Earth's surface, the Amazon Rainforest is home to about 50% of all plant and animal species on the planet?" (2 - 3 minutes)

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Theory: What are Biomes? (5 - 7 minutes)

   • In this stage, the teacher should explain that biomes are large sets of ecosystems that share similar characteristics, such as climate, soil, vegetation, and fauna.
   • The importance of biomes for the maintenance of life on Earth should be highlighted, as they determine the distribution of species, influence the climate, and the water cycle.
   • The teacher can use images and maps to illustrate the distribution of biomes on the planet and their distinct characteristics.

2. Theory: Brazilian Biomes (5 - 7 minutes)

   • In this stage, the teacher should present the main Brazilian biomes: Amazon Rainforest, Cerrado, Atlantic Forest, Caatinga, Pantanal, and Pampa.
   • For each biome, their main characteristics, such as climate, predominant vegetation, and biodiversity, should be presented.
   • The teacher can use images, videos, and characteristic sounds of each biome to make the presentation more interesting and engaging.

3. Analysis and Discussion: Impacts of Human Actions on Biomes (5 - 7 minutes)

   • In this stage, the teacher should discuss the main threats to Brazilian biomes, such as deforestation, uncontrolled urbanization, pollution, and climate change.
   • The consequences of these threats for biodiversity, ecosystem services, and the population should be highlighted.
   • The teacher can use real examples of environmental impacts in Brazil, such as deforestation in the Amazon and river pollution in the Cerrado, to illustrate the discussion.
   • Students should be encouraged to actively participate in the discussion, expressing their opinions and asking questions.

4. Practical Activity: Biomes Game (5 - 7 minutes)

   • To consolidate learning, the teacher can propose a board game about Brazilian biomes.
   • The board should be divided into different biomes, and students should advance in the game by answering questions about the characteristics, biodiversity, and threats to each biome.
   • The game can be played in groups of 4 to 5 students, promoting teamwork and cooperation.
   • At the end of the game, the teacher should lead a discussion about the correct answers and the doubts that arose during the activity.

Return (10 - 15 minutes)

1. Group Discussion (5 - 7 minutes):

   • The teacher should gather all students and promote a group discussion about the solutions or conclusions that each group reached during the practical activity.
   • Students should be encouraged to share their ideas and arguments, and the teacher should mediate the discussion, clarifying doubts and complementing information when necessary.
   • The objective of this stage is to promote the exchange of knowledge among students and reflection on the content learned.

2. Connection with Theory (3 - 5 minutes):

   • The teacher should make the connection between the practical activity and the theory presented.
   • For example, the teacher can ask: "How can the human actions we discussed affect the characteristics, biodiversity, and conservation of biomes, as we saw in the game?"
   • The teacher should reinforce the most important concepts, emphasizing the importance of conserving biomes for the maintenance of biodiversity and ecosystem services.

3. Individual Reflection (2 - 3 minutes):

   • The teacher should propose that students reflect individually on what they learned in the lesson.
   • The teacher can ask questions like: "What was the most important concept you learned today?" and "What questions have not been answered yet?".
   • Students should have a minute to think about these questions, and then some of them can share their answers with the class.
   • The objective of this stage is for students to internalize the content learned and identify possible gaps in their understanding.

4. Feedback (1 - 2 minutes):

   • Finally, the teacher should ask for feedback from students about the lesson.
   • The teacher can ask: "What did you think of today's lesson?" and "What could be improved in the next lesson?".
   • Students' feedback is essential for the teacher to adjust their teaching strategies and make the lessons more effective and interesting.

Conclusion (5 - 10 minutes)

1. Summary of Contents (2 - 3 minutes):

   • The teacher should summarize the main points covered during the lesson, recalling the concepts of biome, the importance of biomes for life on Earth, Brazilian biomes, and the threats they face.
   • It is important for the teacher to emphasize once again the importance of conserving biomes, reinforcing that they are fundamental for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services.

2. Connection between Theory and Practice (1 - 2 minutes):

   • The teacher should highlight how the lesson connected theory and practice, explaining that the discussion and the practical activity allowed students to apply theoretical concepts in the analysis of real situations.
   • The teacher can also emphasize that the discussion and the practical activity promoted the development of skills such as critical thinking, argumentation, and teamwork.

3. Extra Materials (1 - 2 minutes):

   • The teacher should suggest extra materials for students who wish to deepen their knowledge on the subject. These materials may include books, documentaries, websites, and educational games about biomes and environmental conservation.
   • For example, the teacher can suggest reading a book about Brazilian biodiversity, watching a documentary about the destruction of the Amazon, or exploring an interactive website that allows students to virtually explore Brazilian biomes.

4. Relevance of the Subject (1 - 2 minutes):

   • Finally, the teacher should explain the relevance of the subject to students' daily lives, emphasizing that the conservation of biomes is a matter of survival for humanity.
   • For example, the teacher can cite examples of how Brazilian biomes influence the climate and water availability in the country, or how the loss of biodiversity can affect food and medicine production.
   • The teacher should encourage students to reflect on what they can do to contribute to the conservation of biomes, whether through small actions in their daily lives or through engagement in social and political movements that fight for environmental preservation.
