![]() ![]() deciduous soil is fertile due to leave decomposition deciduous forest temperature is 10 degrees Celsius or 50 F. deciduous forest animals hibernate in the winter and eat off land when not hibernating ![]() Soaking up the nutrients in the ground is also a way of adaptation. deciduous "The plants have adapted to the forests by leaning toward the sun. deciduous spiders,salamanders and cardinals deciduous trees,trees and more tree species!! deciduous forest Eastern North America and mid Europe grasslands negative human impacts are not practicing crop rotation and oil production these cause nutrient deprivation and runoff crop rotation can be practiced and renewable energy could be used grasslands grasslands many humans farm in this temperate area grasslands some of the world's most nutrient rich soil because of decay of plant roots grasslands -40-21 degrees Celsius or -40 to 70 F. grasslands temperate 10-30 inches and tropical 25-60 inches of rain a year grasslands bison have teeth and digestion that supports eating the main plant here and prairie animals have the ability to burrow away from predators grasslands grass here can be eaten by herbivores all they way to the ground and still regrow and grasses here are tough to eat so the high amount of herbivores does not drive extinction grasslands wild turkey,eagles and coyote In the middle of continents grasslands Sunflower and Buffalo Grass ![]() grasslands located just north ans south of the tropics middle of U.S., temperate taiga logging and hydro power use habitat destruction and disruption of natural stream pattern practice recycling and relocate animals taiga taiga not a lot of people live here taiga soil is not rich because there is cold and little decomposition taiga -54->21 degrees Celsius or -65 to 70 F taiga many predator and prey relationships birds that can find food in winter stay all year taiga plants are waxy to prevent freezing in winter plants never shed leaves so the can photosynthesize ASAP dark leaves to absorb heat snow slides off branches taiga coniferous trees along with some mosses and lichens taiga MANY insects and birds migrate here rabbits,squirrels,bobcat and lynx taiga below tundra and is across Eurasia and North America These students have become experts on the following biomes and organisms.Tundra is a carbon sink but with global warming it is releasing carbon mining causes pollution->more melting more non polluting energy sources and alternate materials used Here are snippets of the organisms researched by some 4th graders. Lastly, we researched the various ways that humans can negatively and positively affect the organism and its environment. They researched their organism’s habitat, physical and behavioral adaptations, diet, and interactions between other organisms in relation to its part in the food chain and food web within that ecosystem. Using websites such as Blue Planet Biomes, Arizona State University’s “Ask a Biologist,” NASA’s “Climate Kids,” and DK Find Out, students researched biotic factors (producers, consumers, and decomposers) and abiotic factors (sunlight, temperature, precipitation, and other aspects of the physical environment). A huge thumbs-up to these students for trying something new to show off their learning, from a distance!Ī Pond Ecosystem by Avery Whit’s drawing shows the biotic and abiotic interactions in the pond ecosystem.Īs a final project, students chose a biome and researched a specific organism living in that biome. Students put their learning into illustrations and oral summaries, and used the platform Educreations or Flipgrid to create a lesson in which they taught the rest of us what they learned. We researched pond and desert ecosystems, and noted the biotic and abiotic (living and nonliving) elements and interactions of each. First, we completed an ecosystem scavenger hunt to practice our skills of observation as we watched for interactions among organisms. This trimester, students focused on aspects of Ecology.
