Biome Poster
Design Team Project
Biome Poster: (100 points per section = 200 points total)
Creatively divide the poster into two sections…one for each biome you researched. Create a mural
showing the different abiotic factors, plants (flora) and animals (fauna) found in your specific
biomes. It should meet the following criteria:
Each biome section should contain:
I. a small written section (typed) that should be a general description of your biome including:
A.
General description you would use to identify it including abiotic (non-living) factors
B.
Climate (annual precipitation and annual temperature)
II. The name of your biome creatively displayed.
III. Biome Map: a World map with shading of the parts of the globe where the biome may be found.
The names of countries where the biomes are found should be displayed under the map.
IV. Symbiotic Relationship: a type of symbiosis and a written description of an example of that
symbiotic relationship found in the biome.
V. Mural: The rest of the poster will be a mural of your biome showing a suitable background for the
plants and animals found there. This will include the abiotic factors of landforms, bodies of water (or
lack of water), and soil. The vegetation will also be displayed.
VI. Plants (flora) at least 5 examples making sure to label each organism with its common name.
You should also include two adaptations used by the plants.
VII. Animals (fauna) 20 examples divided into a table with the following categories:
A.
Herbivores (primary consumers) eat only plant life. (5)
B.
Carnivores (secondary consumers) eat only animal life. (5)
C.
Omnivores - consumers that eat both plant and animal life as the opportunity arises. (4)
D.
Scavengers - consumers that feed on mostly dead animal matter. (3)
E.
Decomposers - organisms that break down dead matter (3)
VIII. Two food chains that would be found in the biome.
IX. Two adaptations used by animals in this biome
X. Climate Graph: A climate graph showing the average rainfall and average temperature for a city
in your biome. You may not use the city you used in the previous class activity but may choose a
new city found in your biome and use the same site to create your climate graph.
