What is a biome? The American Journal of Science identifies biomes as a major regional or global biotic community, such as a grassland or desert, characterized chiefly by the dominant forms of plant life and the prevailing climate. Biomes are ecosystems, places on the globe that are defined by the animals, plants, and climate in that particular location.
In science with Mrs. Mitchell we have been working this week on finishing up our group projects researching these biomes. The class was divided up into small groups, each of which were responsible for creating a movie about their biome. This assignment integrated our technology class, and the work we are doing with the new Mac laptops. In each movie the groups had to include pictures of animals, plants, land structure, and dominant climate for their biome.
Some of the biomes researched included:
Temperate Forest
Grassland
Tundra
Rainforest
