The tundra biome is a cold, harsh environment located in Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, Scandinavia, and Siberia. It has very low annual precipitation between 6-10 inches and temperatures that range from -47F to -126F. Plants such as arctic moss, caribou moss, and bearberry stay close to the ground, while animals like the snowy owl, polar bear, caribou, and arctic fox have thick coats or short bodies to reduce exposure and help them survive in the extreme cold.

Taiga
The document describes the taiga biome. The taiga is found in northern regions like Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia and Russia. It has cold winters below -65 degrees and warmer summers around 70 degrees, and receives around 40 inches of precipitation annually. The climate is dominated by arctic air. Common plants are black spruce, jack pine, white fir and paper birch while animals include American black bears, red foxes, bobcats and bald eagles. Some species, like jack pine and bald eagles, have adaptations like waxy needles and curved beaks, to help survive in the harsh climate.

It also lists the names of students and the topics they were assigned to research and present on related to the Canadian Shield.
Taiga[1]
The Taiga, also known as the Boreal Forest, is located in the northern regions of Canada and Siberia. It has long, cold winters and short, mild summers due to its northern latitude. Coniferous trees like pine and spruce dominate the Taiga as they are adapted to its climate with waxy leaves and thick bark. Animals in the Taiga have adaptations like thick fur, large padded feet, and hibernation to survive the harsh winters with little food and long periods of cold temperatures.
Deciduous Forest by Lauryn & peyton
A deciduous forest biome is a large area with specific plant and animal species. It has four distinct seasons and is located across parts of North America and Eurasia. The climate is temperate with temperatures ranging from -30 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit and 30 to 60 inches of annual precipitation. Common plant life includes oak, birch, and tulip trees which lose their leaves in winter. Animal life includes elk, mountain lions, coyotes and chipmunks which hibernate in winter.
d e c i d u o u s f o r e s t*
Deciduous forests primarily exist in eastern North America, Europe, and parts of Russia. They have cold winters, warm summers, and year-round precipitation. Native plants such as American beech, carpet moss, and lady fern have adapted to the climate, and native animals including bald eagles, black bears, coyotes, and platypuses live in the forest. Threats to deciduous forests include acid rain, air pollution, logging, and tree diseases.
Rainforest by Mauricio & Will

The document lists some of the common plant species found in rainforests, such as orchids, pitcher plants, lianas, bromeliads, and venus fly traps. It also names several animal species including the poison dart frog, Bengal tiger, chimpanzee, gorilla, and spider monkey.
Tundra
The tundra is an arctic biome characterized by cold temperatures and permafrost. It has a short growing season and sparse vegetation like dwarf shrubs, sedges, and wildflowers. Animal life includes caribou, Arctic foxes, and birds. There are two types of tundra: Arctic tundra located around the polar regions and alpine tundra found at high elevations. Permafrost and low precipitation limit plant growth in the tundra.
Inquiry Project 3
1. Polar bears live in the Arctic regions near the North Pole, ranging across Russia, Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Norway.
2. Polar bears are very large, with males weighing up to 1500 pounds and standing over 11 feet tall. They have thick fur and fat that insulates them from the cold Arctic climate.
3. Polar bears primarily hunt seals for food, but will also eat walruses, whales, fish and birds when available. They can go weeks without eating when food is scarce.

Editor's Notes
- M: tundra by Michael and A: Aldo
- A: A biome is a community of plants and animals that have similar traits in order to survive
- M: Some locations of the Tundra are Alaska Northern Canada, Edges of Greenland, Northern Scandinavia, Northern Siberia/Russia
- A: Cold and harsh with low precipitation. Temperature Range 47F to -126F. Precipitation 6 to10 inches of water(with snow melt)
- M: Some plants in the Tundra are Artic Moss, Caribou Moss, Diamond Leaf Willow, Labrador Tea, and Bearberry. The Bearberry’s adaptation is that it stays low to the ground and it’s hairs keep it warm.
- A: Some animals in the tundra are Snowy Owl, Polar Bear, Caribou, and Rock Ptarmigan. Finally we have an Arctic Fox it’s adaptation is it has a short body, thick coat not as much skin exposed to the cold.
