Lesson Comments
Trying to catch JP up, since he missed a few days.
Classroom test, free response questions.
Examine the climate, rainfall, flora and fauna present in the woodland/shrubland biome, temperate grassland, and cold desert.
Discuss the factors controlling the productivity and the anthroprogenic effect.
Discuss the average temperature, the climate, the precipitation, the soil richness, the flora and fauna of the following terrestrial biomes.
Tundra, Boreal forest, Temperate rainforest, temperate seasonal forest, woodland, temperate grassland.
Ilicic the effects of human intervention on the sustainability of the biomes. View a series of photographs of each biome, showing the trees, shrubs and flowers along with the different insects and animimals found.
List and discuss the average temperatures, the precipitation, the insect and animal life, and the typical plant life located within the woodland/shrub land biome, the temperate grassland, and the cold desert. Discuss the anthropogenic effects and how they can be changed.
View photographs and discuss both temperate rainforest biome and temperate seasonal rainforest biome, often called a deciduous forest.
Compare and discuss rainfall amounts, temperature moderation, size and type of trees, soil richness, decomposition, common flora and fauna,
Describe how humans affected each biome, cutting trees in one for wood and in the other to clear land for farming.
Concentrate on a temperate rainforest and a temperate seasonal rainforest.
Temperate rainforest location, typical temperature and rainfall, size and type of trees, soil nutrition, and rate of decomposition. View and discuss the variety of animal life present and the major plant life .
Discuss the affects that humans have on this biome, primarily for cutting of trees for wood.
Temperate seasonal forest. Discuss how it differs from the temperate rainforest, its location, temperature, rainfall, soil nutrient level, types of trees, types of flora and diagrams of fauna. Discuss how the plants determine the variety of animals.
Climate diagram graphs viewed and discussed. Tundra biome examined in detail. Location on the biosphere, climate, growing season determined from the climate graph, frozen soil, permafrost, poor nutrition, treeless, puddles after melting with no drainage, mosquitos, short shrubs moss and lichen, muskox, seals, foxes, polar bears, snow leapods.
View and discuss climate diagrams and how they are used to determine the productivity of a biome and which climate factors predominate, water or temperature.
The tundra biome is examined in detail. Photographs are analyzed and the major characteristics elicited from them. Cold, treeless, low growing vegetation, frozen winter soil, permafrost, short growing season, stagnant water, no drainage, poor soil, moss and lichens, muskox, foxes, polar bears, mosquitos, and seals are just a few of the fauna and flora.
