  4. Biosphere –the part of Earth where life exists (atmosphere, land & water)Biome- regions in the biosphere where certain plants & animals exist http://www.educationscotland.gov.uk/weatherandclimatechange/resourcebank/videos/video_tcm4598364.asp http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?title=Climate_Zone_Extravaganza&video_id=55152

  5. Desert • Hot days/Cold nights • Limited rainfall (dry) • Limited plants and grasses • There is a desert on every continent. • Not all deserts are hot (some are cold!) http://videos.howstuffworks.com/discovery/28106-assignment-discovery-desert-biomes-video.htm

  6. Forests • Found in temperate and tropical regions • Fertile soil • Consistent rainfall • Large amounts of plants and animals http://www.thewildclassroom.com/biomes/rainforest.html

  7. Grasslands • Cold winter/Hot summer • Limited precipitation (dry) • Flat land • Limited trees www.thewildclassroom.com/biomes/grasslands.html

  8. Tundra • Coldest of all biomes • Flat land • Treeless due to long winters • Limited rainfall http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WysPqt0Y_-w

  9. Taiga • Largest land biome • Cold and dry • Coniferous forest (cones) • Found in Polar regions http://www.thewildclassroom.com/biomes/taiga.html
