The document defines biomes as large areas characterized by their climate, plants, and animals. It describes six major land biomes: temperate deciduous forest, coniferous forest, tropical rainforest, grasslands/savanna, deserts, and tundra. It also discusses two major aquatic biomes: marine ecosystems like coral reefs and freshwater ecosystems like wetlands. The objective is to understand the environmental conditions in these biomes and how the organisms within them depend on one another.

1. Biomes
(Ecosystems)
Objective:
What types of environmental
conditions occur in the major biomes
and how do the organisms depend
on one another?

2. 1. Biome
-large area characterized by its climate,
plants, and animals living in that area.
The abiotic factor in a biome would be
CLIMATE, because it is non-living.

3. 2. Land Biomes
1.Temperate Deciduous Forest
( lots of leaves / mild
temperatures)
2. Coniferous Forest
( lots needle-like leaves / cold
winters )
3.Tropical Rain Forest
( lots of species of plants and
animals/very hot and wet )

4. 4. Grasslands/Savanna
( Flat with many grasses and can be
hot )
5.Deserts
( animals have adaptations to
survive here/very hot and dry)
6. Tundra
( treeless/ cold and dry)
Which biome do we live in?

5. Reality Check
• What types of environmental conditions
occur in the major biomes and how do the
organisms depend on one another?

6. Land Biomes Pictures:
Tundra
Forests
Grasslands
Artic Tundra
Deserts

7. 3. Marine Ecosystem
Marine is known as the ecosystem of the
ocean.
Coral Reefs are found here.

8. 4. Freshwater Ecosystem
Wetlands,
Marshes, &
Swamps are
found in the
freshwater
ecosystems.

9. Reality Check
• What types of environmental conditions
occur in the major biomes and how do the
organisms depend on one another?

10. Biomes

conditions occur in the major
biomes and how do the
organisms depend on one
another?

11. Biomes Poster
• In groups create a poster over the biome
you have been assigned.
• The poster should include the following
things about your biome:
– Biotic factors (plants and animals)
– Abiotic factors (temperature/climate)
– Interesting facts
Group 1: Coniferous forest Group 2: Desert
Group 3: Savannah Group 4: Rainforest
Group 5: Marine Group 6: Tundra

12. Roles
• Plant Expert
• Animal Expert
• Meteorologist (climate/weather)
• Artist

13. Name that biome / Ecosystem
Number your paper 1-10.
Write this key at the top of your paper.
