  3. Welcome! • Today you are going to take a look at the different biomes of the world. • You are going to complete 3 different tasks in learning about biomes. • There is controversy over how many biomes there really are, however, our class will be looking at the main six; Freshwater, Marine, Desert, Forest, Grassland, and Tundra.

  5. Biome Questions • Open a document in your Google docs. • Answer these questions for 3 biomes. • Question 1: Where is the biome geographically located? (Relative to the poles or the equator) • Question 2: What is the biome’s temperature range? • Question 3: What is the biome’s vegetation? (Natural and Cultivated) • Question 4: What organisms live in this biome? (Name at least 5) • Question 5: List a few characteristics that make this biome different from the other biomes.

  6. Biome Questions cont… • Once you have finished the five questions for 3 biomes move onto task number 2!

  7. Task 2: Name that Biome • On the Google doc that you have created title the next page TASK 2. Number 1 through 10 down the side. • Use what you’ve learned to go through these 10 pictures and label them with the appropriate biome. Choose from the six biomes in task 1. 2. 4. 1. 3.
