92.05.12: North American Biomes
YaleNew Haven Teachers Institute, Home. North American biomes. byLois Van Wagner. Contents of Curriculum Unit 92.05.12 to top. biomes.
http://www.yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1992/5/92.05.12.x.html

Extractions: Lois Van Wagner This unit on North American biomes will be a comparative study of each of the biomes biotic and abiotic factors. We will look at representative species of both plants and animals for each of the biomes, and try to develop food chains from those organisms. Since an understanding of the physical environment is important to the understanding of the special adaptations some plants and animals have evolved with, we will also examine such things as temperature ranges, amount of moisture, presence of extremes of wind, sunlight or lack of sunlight, and soil types. Wherever possible live animals and plants will be examined and kept for observation terrariums. On our collecting expeditions I hope to find various small plants, insects, caterpillars, etc. that we can safely keep for a while in aquariums or terrariums. Within each area we will focus on the healthy environment and discuss some of the contemporary problems that each area is facing in regards to pollution, habitat reduction, and poaching. Classroom discussions will be extended to include the African and South American biomes and their special animals, adaptations, and problems. An important part of the unit will be the hands-on activities that can be incorporated into the lessons. For each biome there will be a special activity that is either observational or participational. Each student will produce a Biome book of their own as a result of a group study of the biome. The students will work cooperatively to produce a better product of their own.

biomes OF THE WORLD. Resources For information about all of the biomes Ninth Gradehas several reports on all the biomes, written by ninth grade students.
http://www.memphis-schools.k12.tn.us/schools/ibwells.aca/biomes.html

Extractions: Introduction Task Resources Process ... Conclusion Animals and plants around the world are in danger of becoming extinct. Man has caused much of the danger to different areas, because of his constant development of land for homes, businesses, and industry, with no thought to the environment. Fires have destroyed much of the deciduous forest in the United States. The television shows announcements about the constant destruction of the rainforest, which is the home for many endangered animals and plants. Droughts are destroying more plants, which means even less food and homes for animals. Your group will be doing research on a biome, and will be developing visuals and a play to convince others of the importance of your particular biome, and why it should be protected. You will be televising this play, with visuals, props, and any music you choose. Remember, your biome may be destroyed if you cannot convince others of its importance Students will work in cooperative groups conducting computer research on a specific biome to: writing a report about a specific biome

CRS Report: 93-655 - Ecosystems, Biomes, And Watersheds: Definition And Use - NL
Ecosystems, biomes, and Watersheds Definitions and Use. M. Lynne Corn. Whatare the differences among ecosystems, biomes, and watersheds?
http://www.cnie.org/NLE/CRSreports/Biodiversity/biodv-6.cfm

Extractions: SUMMARY Due to conflicts in many areas such as old growth forests in the Northwest, the Everglades in south Florida, Chesapeake Bay, and the Rio Grande watershed, many people are advocating a broader approach to management of land and water resources and biological diversity. They argue that existing laws run at cross purposes, or that the plethora of requirements under many laws and regulations means that no land use decision is ever final. As a result, and from a surprising range of philosophical platforms, many in Congress are advocating "ecosystem management" in various land use and conservation issues. Yet, there is little agreement, even in the scientific community, on the meaning of the term ecosystem. This paper describes the meaning and applications of ecosystem and of the related terms watershed and biome.

Insects Home Eastern Wildflowers General Topics Natural History Ecology Family Environment Evolution Home Education Home Conservation Geophysics Paleontology Commercial Organizations Return to Biomes and Habitats Main Page A Short Introduction to Terrestrial Biomes Naturalists have also noted that as one goes up a mountain, the vegatation zones tend to mirror the larger biomes as the temperature and precipitation change. These changes in vegetation types are sometimes called "life zones". The classic example is the San Francisco Mountains in northern Arizona. On the north side of the mountains the vegetation at the base is a scrub desert changing to a desert dominated by the dry adapted trees pinyon pine and juniper. As the elevation increases the forest changes to Ponderosa Pine, then to a spruce-douglas fir habitat very similar to the taiga, and finally changes to an alpine zone similar to tundra in its appearance on the top of the mountain peaks. Ecologists have proposed a series of biomes for the oceans of the world as well, although most of their attention has focused on terrestrial biomes. The ocean biomes are sometimes divided into a littoral zone (rocky shores, salt marshes, and beaches), a pelagic zone (the upper layers of the ocean), and an abyssal zone (the deeper levels of the ocean). Other more complicated classifications of ocean habitats have been proposed.

Extractions: These webpages were developed by approximately seventy 9th grade students at Thurston High School in Springfield, Oregon in 1997. This was an integrated Science, Literature, and Health project in periods 3, 4, and 5 (see links below). Information has been collected on 8 different biomes. [ Edit Biomes- Habitats Usually a trip to the zoo only involves looking at animals as individual organisms, neglecting their connections to a greater system. The seventh grade life science and English classes at Whitesboro Middle School have been working together with scientists from Syracuse University and SUNY ESF, Utica Zoo, and Burnet Park Zoo to create a web site that will display animals as part of a biome... the CyberZoo.

Extractions: Biomes are simply environments that have some things in common. Their climates and the organisms that live in them are similar. Grouping environments into biomes helps scientists to study and to better understand the natural world. On this page you will find out about some of the biomes of the world, what makes them unique, and what kinds of creatures call it their home.
Biomes In A Box
biomes in a Box. Anne McDonald and Michael O Hare 1991 Woodrow WilsonBiology Institute. Objective Students will construct a model
http://www.accessexcellence.org/AE/AEPC/WWC/1991/biomes.html

Extractions: 1991 Woodrow Wilson Biology Institute Students will construct a model of a biome which will illustrate the various biotic and abiotic factors unique to that biome. Students are asked to build a three-dimensional model of a biome in a box (larger than a shoebox) using everyday materials. Included in the model should be representative examples of flora and fauna, and it should show the terrain (mountainous, flat, shoreline, etc.). The inside walls of the box should be decorated (painted, collaged with photos, etc.) . Taped onto one side of the box should be a written description of all of the characteristics of the biome (elevation, precipitation levels, temperature , flora, fauna, etc). Taped onto the other side of the box is a world map indicating (by color, outline, etc.) the locations of this biome. Creative writing: Choose an animal or plant in your biome of study that you might like to become. Write an autobiography about yourself as that organism in which you tell about your life history from birth or germination to death. Describe your interactions with abiotic and biotic factors in your environment. Include a discussion of your daily routine. Explain WHY you chose the biome and the organism that you wrote about.

Geologists have traditionally modeled the surface and subsurface of the Earth using one or more physical dimensions. These are length, width, depth, and time. Most of these geological models would be considered maps Types of physical models: Operational models incorporate the time dimension.
