For each biome, you need to record the following information:
Animals found there
Plants found there
Abiotic factors
Geographic Distribution (where is this biome found on earth)
The rainfall and temperature chart
When done,
Create a color brochure about 2 of the 10 biomes listed in your text.
Then, as a table, you will create a poster with this information and prepare a short
presentation on your biomes
Include all the information on the chart
Compare and contrast the two biomes you are assigned.
