In class, we have been talking a lot about biodiversity! <\/strong>We have covered key concepts and vocabulary such as ecology, ecosystems, food chains, abiotic and biotic elements, biomes, and keystone species.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the videos we watched, in case you would like to see them again:<\/p>\n

Bill Nye Biodiversity<\/a><\/p>\n

TED Ed Why is biodiversity so important?<\/a><\/p>\n

What does biodiversity do for us?<\/a><\/p>\n

We also watched Planet Earth’s Pole to Pole, which showed us the many biomes and amazing diversity of life we have, stretching from the Arctic down to the Antarctic.<\/p>\n

Using the books in class and the websites below, please do the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Use the map handout I gave you. Give it a title, make a legend, and then colour the map to show where the different biomes of the world are. We listed them in our journals.<\/p>\n

2. Using the other handout I gave you as a guide, for each biome, please find out its general location in the world, its characteristics, and then 3 plants and 3 animals you might find in each biome. The first biome can be done on the handout. The others you can record in your journal.<\/p>\n

3. You may work with a partner in class, but you need your own map and information in your journal.<\/p>\n
