Today we learned about the 5 basic biomes of the world. There are many types of biomes but in this
class we will concentrate on the basic five: Tundra, Forest, Grasslands,
Deserts, and Aquatics. A biome
is a definition for a particular type of community and is classified based on
its environment, organisms, and vegetation.
For your review I want you to research a particular
biome. Please comment below on which
biome you will be researching. There
are 35 students in the class so no more than 7 students to research a
particular biome. If there are more than
7 people to a biome the last person to sign up for that biome will receive a 0
for this assignment. Sign up early and PAY ATTENTION!!
While you are reviewing and researching I want you to
concentrate on these particular aspects:
Where is you biome located in the world?
What are the
average temperatures of the seasons? Are there different seasons?
Give three
examples of the type of vegetation.
Give
three examples of the types of animals.
Is there any ecological harm being caused by humans? Give details.
Are
there any defining features about this biome that are particularly
special?
Are there other more specific biomes within
this particular biome? Explain.
Tomorrow you will be meeting with the 6 other members of
your group and create a special presentation for the class on the biome you
researched. Your group can do a skit, poem,
song, poster, PowerPoint, etc. You may
not get up in front of the class and read from your paper without any other
supplemental material. Whatever is not
finished in class tomorrow you are required to finish on your own time. We will present two days from now. Feel free to figure out the other members of
you group and begin working on your presentations tonight.
I have included some websites below to aid in
your research. These are not exclusive and feel free to use any other sources besides Wikipedia:
