Biome Inc. has stated that they need hard working, intelligent fifth graders to work with their expert scientists. They need students to assist in a research project because they want families to travel to biomes and experience the beauty nature has to offer.  Biome Inc. feels fifth graders will be able to study the biome from a children's point of view and construct a PowerPoint presentation that will encourage families to travel to new and exciting vacation destinations. Biome Inc. is willing to work with Miss Pesile and pay the hardest working students with marbles.
