S7L4 Students will examine the dependence of organisms on one
another and their environments.
B. Explain in a food web that sunlight is a source of energy and
that this energy moves from organism to organism.
E. Describe the characteristics of Earth's major terrestrial biomes
(i.e., tropical rainforest, savanna, temperate forest, desert, taiga,
tundra, and mountain) and aquatic communities (i.e., freshwater,
estuaries, and marine).

WRITING PROMPT
Imagine you are a new organism who has to
choose a biome in which to live. Write
a report about your choice. In this report,
describe the biome you chose, share why
you made this choice, and describe the adaptations you have that will help you to
live successfully in this biome.
