Biome Terms
• Ecosystem- an interdependent community of plants & animals.
• Biome- an ecosystem of a specific region.
• The four types of biomes are : forest, grassland, desert, tundra.
• A forest biome is determined by the types of trees in the area.

Biome Terms
With each of the biomes, set up a station for a group to work in.
They will combine the information from the slides to draw a “snapshot” of the biome.
Each drawing should include characteristics of :• Vegetation• Climate• Animals• Level of Precipitation• Locations

What does Coniferous Forest look like?
• Coniferous means “cone bearing”• Evergreen-trees that produce cones and pine needles.

• Pine needles remain on trees all year long.
