Biome Project Requirements

  • Biome Project
    There are large areas on Earth that have similar climates and distinct plant and animal populations. Each biome has its own producers, consumers, and decomposers. A biome usually covers parts of several continents (each continent has several biomes). There are six land biomes on Earth. These include the:
  • Grassland
  • Temperate Deciduous Forest
  • Desert
  • Tundra
  • Taiga
  • Tropical Rainforest
  • Aquatic (ocean)

  • Your Job:
    Research one biome and in a power point presentation include the following information:
    1. Areas where you can find this biome (continents)
    2. Amount of rain (precipitation) per year
    3. The average temperature
    4. Unique characteristics
    5. Plants found in this biome
    6. Animals or organisms found in this biome
    7. Animal adaptations that allow these animals to survive in the specific biome
    8. Identify the animals as producers, consumers, or decomposers.
~Make sure the powerpoint is colorful, contains pictures, and the writing is large enough for the whole class to see.
~Finally, you will present this information in a 2-3 minute presentation to the class. A good presentation is one where you are well informed on the topic. Each person in the group must speak during the presentation. You may also bring in any other visual aids that may add to your presentation.
