Students will complete a Biome Cube Project to learn about Earth's six major terrestrial biomes: tundra, taiga, deciduous forest, desert, tropical rainforest, and grasslands. For each biome cube, students must provide the average temperature and precipitation, examples of at least 3 plants and 3 animals, and 3 interesting facts while including a picture to illustrate the biome. The project aims to examine how organisms depend on one another and their environments within the different biomes.
