Environmental science

In your post: 

1. Pick one biome from the following list that you would like to live in, if you could.   

a. Temperate Rainforest 

b. Desert

c. Temperate Deciduous Forest

d. Tundra 

e. Savanna

f. Temperate Grassland

g. Boreal Forest (Taiga) 

h. Tropical Rainforest

2. Research the biome on the internet, do not use the textbook.  

3. Discuss the amount of precipitation the biome gets per year (ex. give scientific measurements, like 0-10 inches per year). 

4. Discuss the average temperature of the biome per year (ex. give scientific measurements, like 80-90F in summer and 30-40F in winter). Then, discuss how many seasons the biome has per year (ex. spring, summer, fall, winter or does it only one season).  

5. Discuss three locations on the earth where you can find this biome occurring naturally (ex. Texas or Scandinavia.) 

6. List five native endemic plants that only grow in the biome. Then, describe what endemic means. 

7. List five native animals that live in the biome. Then, for each animal describe their niche (ex. what is their job in the biome).  

8. Discuss two neat facts about the biome that you found while researching (ex. this can be anything).
