  1. Biomes A Biome is an area or region with a specific climate and the life forms that live there

  2. Gather information about the following for your biome…You’ll need this information to complete your pamphlet • Weather & Climate • Temperature • Precipitation • Landforms • Mountains • Bodies of Water • Canyons • Islands • Fauna (Animals) • Flora (Plants) • Adaptations needed for plants & animals to survive in the biome • Relationships • Predator-prey • Competition • Limiting factors • Biotic • Abiotic • Ecological concerns or issues

  3. Click the picture below to see a map of the world's terrestrial (land) biomes
