Biomes

Short Description:
  Students are introduced to the six major land biomes (desert, tropical rainforest, grassland, deciduous forest, taiga, and tundra). They will perform skits to learn about the temperature, precipitation, plants and animals in each biome. If time permits, they will then use data from weather stations in each biome to make predictions about biome temperature differences and create graphs of monthly temperatures to test these predictions.
