You will be researching a biome. You will become an expert about your biome and give a presentation in class about it. Each person will work individually on their own biome.
Information that must be included:
Name(s) of biome
Locations (continents)
Climate – average temperatures & amount of precipitation *Include numbers!
Types of organisms that live there (plants & animals). *List some of the most important ones
Why must organisms be adapted to live in that biome and how do they do this?
Ex. Water is limited in the biome so must be adapted to use less water. A certain kind of plant adapts to this by storing water in its plant tissues.
How are humans impacting the biome?
You need to define the terms and explain the ideas listed below
Images (maps, pictures, etc.) – I can send you the diagrams from the textbook

- You do NOT need to include in-text citations in your presentation. Please just include links for pictures in the notes section of your powerpoint (they don’t have to be part of your work cited list)
