1. Biome Ball Project

2. Instructions: get out a piece of paper and write down the following slides for a project that is equal to a test grade.
Each template will represent 1 biome for a total of 6 biomes:
Desert
Taiga
Temperate Deciduous Forest
Grasslands
Tropical Rain Forest
Tundra

3. What you need for each biome:
Biome: make sure you include the name for both of the pieces of template
Flora and Fauna: Fauna is all of the animal life of any particular region. Flora is the corresponding term for plants. Include pictures along with your examples.
Plant and Animal Adaptations: What adaptations do the animals and plants have in order to be successful in their biome (ex. Thin leaves for desert life)
Description and Characteristics: Find specific characteristics for this biome. What makes the biome unique?

4. What you need for each biome
Biome Name: again do not forget to put the biome name at the top
Example of Biome Food Chain: Once you find the flora and fauna you can construct a food chain for the specific biome. Don’t forget to label the name of the organism and the picture.
Human Impacts: List at least two human impacts on the specific biome.
World Wide locations: where in the world are these biomes located. Color the map to show as well.
MAKE SURE YOU COLOR EACH BIOME TEMPLATE THE SAME COLOR. I.E if tropical rainforest is green then both templates should be green.
