BIOME MENU PROJECT Appetizer- EVERYONE DOES THIS ENTIRE SECTION Include a geographic map of all of the biomes. The map should be colored and labeled. The equator should be clearly labeled. Explain the relationship between altitude/latitude and the climate of four biomes of your choice. Main Course- You should choose ONE of these Create a drawing or comic strip with captions that illustrates for your assigned biome o a minimum of 5 biotic and 5 abiotic factors o for each biotic factor (plant or animal) include ONE adaptation that allows it to survive in that biome o Two examples of symbiosis (parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism) Create a flow chart with connecting phrases for your assigned biome that illustrates your understanding of the relationships between o A minimum of 5 biotic and 5 abiotic factors o Adaptations for each of the biotic factors (plant and animal) that allows it to survive it that biome o Two examples of symbiosis (parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism) Write a journal entry/diary entry from the perspective of an animal or plant in your biome that describes “a day in the life” and includes the following o A minimum of 5 biotic and 5 abiotic factors that the organism encounters o Adaptations for each of the biotic factors that allows it to survive it that biome (including your organism) o Two examples of symbiosis (parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism)that affects the daily life of your organism and other organisms in the biome Side Dish- Choose TWO of the following Find or create a food web that includes organisms from your biome and shows at least four trophic levels including a decomposer. Label each trophic level and include arrows (pointing in the proper direction). Find or create a diagram for the carbon cycle. Label respiration and photosynthesis. Explain the role of photosynthesis and respiration in the carbon cycle. Find or create an energy pyramid that includes organisms from your biome. Label each trophic level and use the 10% rule to explain the flow of energy through the trophic levels. Dessert- If you’re not too full, you have the option to do DESSERT for BONUS Research a human impact and describe how it is affecting your biomes. Consider these points in your answer: o What biotic factors are being affected? o What is the effect on these factors? o Is anything being done to counter these effects? Docsity.com
