Biome Basics A biome is an area on the earth's surface that has a certain set of characteristics. There are seven kinds of biomes in the world: tundra, taiga, temperate forest, tropical rainforest, desert, grassland, and ocean. The map above shows where each of these biomes can be found around the world. Although it does not appear in the key, the ocean is represented by the blue area on the map.

Part of the Florida Geographic Alliance's collection of lesson plans BIOMES MARY BETH WESTBROOK Grade: Time: 3 weeks Geographic Theme The world can be divided into units, or parts, that have similar plants, animals, and climates. These units are known as biomes. Learning about the varied habitats will help us understand why and how civilization prospered in particular areas of the world. Overview Provide an introduction into global thinking. Visualize the world as a whole. Recognize how environments can impact the development of civilization. Materials Thematic Unit, Ecology, by Mary Ellen Sterling Biomes, Mark Twain Media, Inc., Publishers Resource books on Biomes paper plates construction paper scissors crayons old magazines rulers 15 pictures of animals from various Biomes silhouettes of animals for art work Objectives Recognize vocabulary related to Biomes Identify six Biomes Describe climate, plants, and animals of each specific biome.

Biome From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In ecology , a biome is a major regional group of distinctive plant and animal communities well adapted to the region's physical environment . The concept of a biome highlights the interaction among plant and animal populations, soil water and air . A biome is discernible at a global scale, and a biotic area is the geographical area occupied by a particular biome. The Earth 's biomes comprise the biosphere Biomes are defined by the global pattern of species . This pattern is influenced by regional climate , soil characteristics, substrate condition (due to periodic flooding for example), and other physical environment factors. In turn, climate and soil partly depend on latitude altitude and slope. A biome is composed of the climax flora and all associated subclimax, or degraded, flora, fauna and soils , but can often be identified by the climax flora type, vertical stratification or vegetation adaptation. Biomes may be divided into: Terrestrial (also called continental) biomes and Aquatic biomes.

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.

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.

Home Up Aerial Photos Global Positioning Systems (GPS) ... Energy Generation: Energy From Renewable Resources [ Biomes ] Biogeography Biodiversity Exotic Species Agriculture and Food Production ... Managing the Environment Biomes The human mind seems to require that we group things into categories. Many of the things we group into categories are continuous, not discrete, such as color, temperature, moisture levels. Communities of species are the same way. Sometimes we can see discrete boundaries on the landscape, such as the edge of a lake where it meets the shore. More often than not, however, changes are gradual. So, when we talk about biomes, keep in mind that they are a human construction to help us understand the distribution of organisms on the face of the earth, but not actually "real." Also, each investigator has a slightly different way of naming and categorizing biomes. If you look at five different books that describe biomes, you will see five different treatments. The important thing is to understand the variation and be able to describe the major features of each type.

Characteristics of the Earth's Terrestrial Biomes Introduction Many places on Earth share similar climatic conditions despite being found in geographically different areas. As a result of natural selection , comparable ecosystems have developed in these separated areas. Scientists call these major ecosystem types biomes . The geographical distribution (and productivity ) of the various biomes is controlled primarily by the climatic variables precipitation and temperature . The map in Figure 9k-1 describes the geographical locations of the eight major biomes of the world. Because of its scale, this map ignores the many community variations that are present within each biome category. Figure 9k-1 Distribution of the Earth's eight major terrestrial biomes.
