BIOMES OF THE WORLD Introduction Task Resources Process ... Conclusion Introduction Animals and plants around the world are in danger of becoming extinct. Man has caused much of the danger to different areas, because of his constant development of land for homes, businesses, and industry, with no thought to the environment. Fires have destroyed much of the deciduous forest in the United States. The television shows announcements about the constant destruction of the rainforest, which is the home for many endangered animals and plants. Droughts are destroying more plants, which means even less food and homes for animals. Your group will be doing research on a biome, and will be developing visuals and a play to convince others of the importance of your particular biome, and why it should be protected. You will be televising this play, with visuals, props, and any music you choose. Remember, your biome may be destroyed if you cannot convince others of its importance The Task Students will work in cooperative groups conducting computer research on a specific biome to: writing a report about a specific biome

Biomes in a Box Anne McDonald and Michael O'Hare 1991 Woodrow Wilson Biology Institute Objective: Students will construct a model of a biome which will illustrate the various biotic and abiotic factors unique to that biome. Procedure: Students are asked to build a three-dimensional model of a biome in a box (larger than a shoebox) using everyday materials. Included in the model should be representative examples of flora and fauna, and it should show the terrain (mountainous, flat, shoreline, etc.). The inside walls of the box should be decorated (painted, collaged with photos, etc.) . Taped onto one side of the box should be a written description of all of the characteristics of the biome (elevation, precipitation levels, temperature , flora, fauna, etc). Taped onto the other side of the box is a world map indicating (by color, outline, etc.) the locations of this biome. Extensions: Creative writing: Choose an animal or plant in your biome of study that you might like to become. Write an autobiography about yourself as that organism in which you tell about your life history from birth or germination to death. Describe your interactions with abiotic and biotic factors in your environment. Include a discussion of your daily routine. Explain WHY you chose the biome and the organism that you wrote about.

EnviroQuest: A Statistical Study of Three Biomes By Marilyn Fry Type of Entry: project Type of Activity: hands-on inquiry lab group/cooperative learning community outreach/off-site activity review/reinforcement Target Audience: Biology Algebra 1 Notes to Teacher: Abstract EnviroQuest : A Statistical Study of Three Biomes is a student-centered research-based project in which students from Algebra 1 classes are cooperatively grouped with students from Biology 1 classes. Students collect data from one of three selected biomes. Data are then organized and statistically analyzed. This project engages students of different backgrounds grouped cooperatively in a relevant outdoor hands-on learning experience. It responds to the "why do I need math" and "what does math have to do with biology?" questions students frequently ask. It also fosters greater proficiency and confidence with problem solving and critical thinking. Presently 125 ninth and tenth grade students are involved with this investigation. The local Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is working with us on this project. Background This project helps students recognize that connections exist between biology and mathematics. It enables students to gather, organize, and mathematically analyze data collected in field studies of three biomes. As the project progresses, students recognize that while differences certainly exist among biomes, there are also many similarities.

BIOMES/ECOSYSTEMS AN INTERNET BASED LESSON PLAN Goal: Students will work in cooperative learning groups to identify and describe various biomes/ecosystems on Earth. Students will utilize the Internet to conduct research on the particularities of each biome and how life varies in different biomes. Ecological problems and hazards facing each biome will also be addressed. Overview: Students will discuss the manners in which a geographic environment affects life and then create a list of various types of environmental settings, or ecosystems, that exist on earth. The class will then discuss biomes and be divided into small working groups. Each group will research a virtual expedition into a certain eco-regions of the world. Groups will study each expedition and how life is affected by that region. Students will then make groups presentations on their findings and discuss ecological threats to their region. Materials: Computers with Internet access, projection device. INVITATION Students will be asked to brainstorm about ways in which their geographic environment affects their life. They should be encouraged to describe manners in which a geographic environment different from theirs would affect their life and other life forms. A separate brainstorm should then be done listing various types of environmental settings, or ecosystems, that exist on earth. Biome should then be introduced and defined. A discussion contrasting and comparing lifestyles in varying biomes can be encouraged. Students should then be divided into small working groups. Group size to be determined by class size and computer availability, as each group will require use of a computer.

North American Biomes Tundra. This is the land of cold polar regions. The two long month summers do not provide enough warmth for the growth of trees or lush plant growth. During the summer, only the top five centimetres of ground thaws, creating large areas of waterlogged soil. Northern Coniferous Forest (Taiga): The coniferous or evergreen forest consists of pines, firs and spruce trees. Cold long winters and short three month long warm summers are combined with rainfalls of 100 to as much as 350 centimetres per year. Temperate Deciduous Forest: The deciduous or broadleaf forest lies south of the Taiga and east of the prairies. The growing season is from four to ten months in length. The forest remains damp for most of the year with half of its 70 to 150 centimetres of rainfall coming during the spring and summer. The soil is rich in humus. In the northern half of the deciduous forest, temperatures range from below zero in the winter to 40 degrees Celsius in the summer. In the south the temperature usually remains above freezing. Temperate Grasslands: The grasslands or prairies have an average rainfall between 25 and 75 centimetres.The summers are hot and the winters cold. The grasses, unlike trees, can tolerate the long periods without rain. The grasses have large root systems that seek out the moisture to depths of as much as two metres below the surface of the ground.

Climate Biomes Very large regions of the world have the same overall climatic conditions. Each of these regions has a community of plants that is unique to that climatic region. The term biome is used to identify these plant communities. The plants that can grow in a given region are determined by a large number of factors including the average yearly temperature, high and low temperatures, the amount and season of rainfall, length of the growing season, latitude, and the height above sea level (altitude). Plant growth in a biome is determined by all of the above factors. However, any one of the factors may limit which plants can survive there. If, for example, an area receives only ten centimetres of rainfall a year, only certain plants can grow there. Temperature can also be a limiting factor. For instance, deciduous trees cannot withstand extremely cold temperatures and therefore are not found in the boreal forests that experience long periods of freezing temperatures each year. Ecologists have identified at least eleven different biomes in the world. In most cases the biomes are named for the dominant plants found in the climatic region. These are tundra, northern coniferous forest (Taiga), temperate deciduous and rain forest, tropical grassland and savanna, temperate grassland, chaparral, desert, mountains, tropical rain forest, tropical deciduous forest, and tropical scrub forest. North America has seven of these biomes: tundra, Taiga, temperate deciduous forest, temperate grassland, chaparral, desert and mountains.

Biomes of North America - Lecture Notes Introduction Montane coniferous forest near Kebler Pass, Colorado I. Introduction The North American continent is the home of a diverse array of plants and animals all occupying a multitude of ecological sites in a variety of climatic regimes. The biota of North America - the sum total of its living creatures - when considered in relation to climatic, soil and physiographic features allows biologists to recognize grand associations which are termed biomes. The purpose of these lecture notes on biomes is to provide the student with an awareness of life from the arctic to the tropics. Our goal is to make you, the young men and women who are the future, cognizant of the living creatures, the land and the environment of this portion of the planet so that as you go forth into the world you will be aware of life on earth and your role in its future. To understand the present flora, it is useful to understand in broad terms the fate of the flora over the last 18,000 years. The Atlas of Paleovegetation is a good place to begin that review.
