Welcome to Footbridge Program- Earth's Biomes!


FootBridge Program:
Earth’s Biomes


What is a biome?  Biomes are very large ecological areas on the earth’s surface, with animals and plants adapting to their environment. Biomes have similar geography and climate. The amount of rainfall and the temperature are two important ways in which biomes are divided. There are five major categories of biomes on earth (Deserts, Aquatic biomes, Forest, Grasslands, and Tundra).

By the end of this unit students should be able to:

* define the major biomes on Earth

* name distinctive climatic features for each biome

* describe the principal living members (plant and animals) of each biome
