ECOLOGY PROJECT
Biomes and the Little Stuff
Task
Create your own Smore page (like this one) that describes how two representative plant species and two representative animal species from each of the following biomes has evolved to survive in their environment:
1. Tundra
2. Temperate Deciduous Forest
3. Desert
4. Rainforest
5. Coniferous Forest
* Please make to describe how photosynthesis and/or respiration may be affected by extreme conditions such as those in the Tundra, Desert and Rainforest. Describe any adaptations seen with each organism.
Minimum Requirements
Your Smore page should have 6 sections including one section that lists the resources used in MLA format for your research. The other five should each cover one of the five biomes listed and contain the following:
- common and scientific name of each plant and animal
- thorough description of each biome including several biotic and abiotic factors
- a picture of the representative plants and animals
- information that describes how each plant and animal is ideally suited for its biome
- a diagram of a typical food web for each biome
Your "Resources Used" section should contain no less than 2 sources per biome.
