All worksheets are on my desk.
- You will use the World Climates map on page 10 to complete the 9 questions on the World climate worksheet
- You will use the World biomes map on page 70 to complete the 10 questions on the World Ecosystems/Biomes worksheet. ***Ecosystems and Biomes are referring to the same thing***
- On a separate sheet of paper, draw the vegetation found in each different biome that is on the map. You may use the book or your chromebook to look up the vegetation.
***Use the map above for the biomes pictures. That means you will need to research what type of vegetation is in each of the 8 biomes and draw one picture for each. So you will only have 8 pictures total. This is a great website to help with what to draw: kids.nceas.ucsb.edu
4th period:
Instead of number 3, complete the 4 climate zones worksheet using pages 70-72.
***These will be due on Monday when you enter the classroom***
