Complete the two matching games on http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Experiments/Biome/index.php
(Great Graph Game-matching temperature and precipitation graphs to the correct biome; To Plant or Not to Plant-placing plants in the correct biome)
Also complete the Biome Challenge Game on http://www.quia.com/rr/2578.html
Record your scores for all of the games. / Visual Spatial
Create your own animal and describe which biome it would live in and why. Include the name of the animal, a drawing of this animal and its habitat (biome), write how this animal would live in this biome (food, shelter, predators, etc.) and list any adaptations of this animal.

In a group of no more than 3, create a jeopardy review game about the biomes we have learned in class. Use the link below to help you create the game:

Use the computer to research the average temperatures and precipitation (inches of rain per year) of the 6 terrestrial biomes (desert, grassland, rainforest, taiga, temperate deciduous forest, and tundra). Create 2 separate bar graphs, one comparing the average temperatures and the other comparing the inches of rain per year. Be sure to label the axes (title and scale for each axis), include a title, and color code your bar graphs. Use this link to help find information (you may also search other webpages as well):
