Biomes

Divide the biomes between your group members. Work together as a group to use the links below to research the biomes of the world. For each biome, fill in all information in the chart. After you have completed your chart, use MS Word or MS Publisher to make a travel brochure for your group’s favorite biome. Be sure to include where a traveler would have to go to visit the biome, temperatures, plants, animals and other unique features of the biome. Be creative! Where will a traveler stay in your biome? What things might they eat? What type of clothing should they pack for the weather? How will they have to travel to get there? What type of things will they be able to do while on vacation?
