A ZOO FOR POWAY The town of Poway has decided to designate a portion of Big Sky Reserve to become the site of a new zoo for the residents of the town. After Mrs. Annie Mall mentioned at the Town Meeting that a group of 4th graders in Room 14 had been learning about biomes, it was unaminously decided by the Town Council that this group of students should act as the designers for this new zoo. Ewe Got The Job!! Your job as one of the designers is to research the climate, locations, plants and animals contained within a biome. The Town Council has indicated that it would like the zoo to be set up as six different display areas, one for each biome. It is your responsibilty to report back to the Town Council with a recommendation of which plants and animals should be included in each of the biomes, as well as the climatic conditions that will be needed to ensure nature's cycle for all the plants and animals. A model will also need to be create so that the Council has a good visual idea of what the enclosure will look like. The Council would also like informational plaques at the beginning of each of the biomes' display areas with a brief summary of the biome, including locations around the world where the biome exists. Bear in Mind . . .

Teacher Notes INTRODUCTION As a committed conservationist you are concerned about the state of your biome. To ensure the survival of your biome you need money for your conservation projects. Since your biome is the best place in the world, you have decided that perhaps you could make some money by hosting "Survivor 8" in your biome. If the television show is produced in your biome, the biome's ecological conservation program will receive financial benefits. TASKS Your task is to convince the producers of "Survivor" that your biome should be chosen for the show. Your task will consist of several parts. You and your commitee are assigned the following responsibilities: A. produce a power point presentation describing your biome, outlining what ecological concerns in your biome merit funding, B. design a reward challenge unique to your biome, C. make the presentation to the producers of the "Survivor" series, D. evaluate the suitability of each biome for "Survivor 8".

These habitats are identified by the vegetation and animals that populate them. The location of each biome is determined by the regional climate. Land Biomes Tropical rain forests are characterized by dense vegetation, seasonally warm temperatures, and abundant rainfall. The animals that dwell here depend on trees for housing and food. Some examples are monkeys, bats, frogs, and insects. Savannas are open grasslands with very few trees. There's not much rain, so the climate is mostly dry. Inhabitants include lions, elephants, zebras, and antelope. Deserts are typically dry areas that experience extremely small amounts of rainfall. They can be either cold or hot. Vegetation includes shrubs and cactus plants. Animals include birds and rodents. Snakes, lizards, and other reptiles survive the severe temperatures by hunting at night and making their homes underground.

Biomes An Internet Hotlist on biomes created by C. M. Hahn Franklin Middle School Introduction Comprehensive Sites Aquatic Sites Land Sites ... Specific Sites Introduction The biosphere is the part of the earth in which life exists. It includes land, air, and water. The biosphere can be divided into biotic (living) and abiotic (nonliving) factors. Biotic factors include all living organisms from bacteria to animals and plants. Abiotic factors include climate, soil type, elevation, etc. Biomes are specific locations in the biosphere containing similar biotic and abiotic factors. The land biomes are: 1. tundra, 2. taiga, 3. grassland, 4. desert, 5. tropical rainforest, and 6. temperate deciduous forest. The aquatic biomes are: 1. freshwater, 2. marine-intertidal zone, 3. marine-neritic zone, 4. marine-open sea zone, 5. marine-deep sea zone, and 6. estuaries. Your challenge is to research a particular biome and become our class expert. You will create a poster depicting one of the twelve biomes/zones. Once you've become an expert, you and your partner/group will share your knowledge with the class by giving a short presentation. Consult the 'Who Fits Here?' Biome Presentation Project handout for more specific information. The Internet Resources Comprehensive Sites Biomes of the World - Links to six land biomes, three freshwater biomes, and three marine biomes. Lots of information if you follow the links.

Home Up Aerial Photos Global Positioning Systems (GPS) ... Energy Generation: Energy From Renewable Resources [ Biomes ] Biogeography Biodiversity Exotic Species Agriculture and Food Production ... Managing the Environment Biomes The human mind seems to require that we group things into categories. Many of the things we group into categories are continuous, not discrete, such as color, temperature, moisture levels. Communities of species are the same way. Sometimes we can see discrete boundaries on the landscape, such as the edge of a lake where it meets the shore. More often than not, however, changes are gradual. So, when we talk about biomes, keep in mind that they are a human construction to help us understand the distribution of organisms on the face of the earth, but not actually "real." Also, each investigator has a slightly different way of naming and categorizing biomes. If you look at five different books that describe biomes, you will see five different treatments. The important thing is to understand the variation and be able to describe the major features of each type. An excellent Web Site with vegetation and plant distribution maps is: http://www-sul.stanford.edu/depts/branner/vegmaps.htm

You remember in your youth when there were only 6 billion people on Earth and vast open spaces and natural habitats in the various biomes of the world. Now, with 14 billion people on Earth, natural biomes are a rarity. Your love of nature and college major in biology has led you to a career working for the World Biome Preserve Association set up by the United Nations. It is an organization similar to the National Parks Systems in the United States. It is a global park system containing the unspoiled natural habitats of the 6 different biomes around the world.

Biomes of North America - Lecture Notes Introduction Montane coniferous forest near Kebler Pass, Colorado I. Introduction The North American continent is the home of a diverse array of plants and animals all occupying a multitude of ecological sites in a variety of climatic regimes. The biota of North America - the sum total of its living creatures - when considered in relation to climatic, soil and physiographic features allows biologists to recognize grand associations which are termed biomes. The purpose of these lecture notes on biomes is to provide the student with an awareness of life from the arctic to the tropics. Our goal is to make you, the young men and women who are the future, cognizant of the living creatures, the land and the environment of this portion of the planet so that as you go forth into the world you will be aware of life on earth and your role in its future. To understand the present flora, it is useful to understand in broad terms the fate of the flora over the last 18,000 years. The Atlas of Paleovegetation is a good place to begin that review.
