Due to the recent economy crisis, business has been very slow. As an employee, you need to vacation to one of these biomes and find out about its plant/animal life, climate, location, and tell us whether it is a good vacation spot to bring the family. Your job is to create a poster using photos, graphs, and information about your assigned biome and present it to the class!

  4. To complete this task, you must log onto my teacher class page and use the links provided to research your biome.
