Where in the world are they?…literally. Biomes Where in the world are they?…literally.

Biome A large area with similar biotic and abiotic factors.

We will create a sheet that documents the differences between biomes. Biome Sheet We will create a sheet that documents the differences between biomes.

The Biomes! Grasslands Tundra Temperate Grassland/Prairie Savanna Forests Taiga/Coniferous Forest Temperate Deciduous Forest Tropical Rain Forest Desert Aquatic (Water) Salt Water/Marine and Fresh Water

Grasslands 3 of them: Tundra, Temperate Grassland/Prairie, Savanna Facts:very grassy

Tundra Abiotic Season-cool summer, very cold winters Precipitation-little snow, but stays all winter FACT-Permafrost-frozen layer of soil (no trees) Not in the tropics, but close to Arctic Circle Biotic List what you see in the clip

Temperate Grassland/Prairie Abiotic Season-4 seasons Precipitation-all kinds rain, snow, sleet, and hail FACT-Not in tropics, middle of USA Biotic List what you see in the clip

Savanna Abiotic Season-2 seasons , wet and dry Precipitation-rain in the wet season FACT-In the tropics Biotic List what you see in the clip

Forests 3 of them: Taiga/Coniferous Forest, Temperate Deciduous Forest, Tropical Rain Forest Facts:full of trees of all types and sizes

Taiga/Coniferous Forest Abiotic Season-4 seasons Precipitation-all kinds FACT-colder than the other forests, conifer trees-seeds are in cones, evergreen Biotic List what you see in the clip

Temperate Deciduous Forest Abiotic Season-4 seasons Precipitation-all kinds FACT-our home Deciduous trees-leaves fall off in the fall Biotic List what you see in the clip

Tropical Rain Forest Abiotic Season-2 seasons, wet and dry Precipitation-RAIN FACT-diverse life, in the tropics, hot and humid Biotic List what you see in the clip

Desert Abiotic Season-um….. Precipitation-very little FACT-DRY, not always hot, extreme temperatures Biotic List what you see in the clip Reptiles and below ground rodents Water conserving plants

Aquatic (water) 2 of them: Salt Water/Marine and Fresh Water FACT: lots of water

Salt Water/Marine Abiotic Season-none Precipitation-none FACT-the world’s oceans Biotic List what you see in the clip

Fresh Water Abiotic Season-none Precipitation-none FACT-lakes, rivers, ponds, and streams Biotic List what you see in the clip
