If you could live in any biome, which one would it be and why?
Practice:1. What characteristics of each biome helped you find your partners? 2. What type of adaptations would the animals in your biome need to survive? 3. What type of adaptations would the plants in your biome need to survive? 4. In your group, make a list of other organisms that you might find in your biome.

Biome & Adaptations
Notes
TEKS 7.10A observe and describe how
different environments,
including microhabitats in school yards and biomes, support
different varieties of organisms
Groups of ecosystems that support certain
plants & animals species & share
similar climates are called biomes.
A biome’s climate is the average condition of
temperature, rainfall, wind &
clouds in an area over time.
Different biomes support different
types of organisms because of the environmental
characteristics.
Organisms are able to survive in
different environments
because of their ability to adapt.
Adaptations are the characteristics
that help organisms survive and reproduce in
their natural environment.
Factors that determine the type of biome:
Precipitation (rain/ snow)
Latitude & Altitude
Soil typeTemperature &
if it ever freezesLength of growing
season
Land biomes:Where are we?
Desert
Tundra
Grasslands
Tropical rain forest
Forest
Water biomes:
Marine (saltwater)Oceans
SeasBaysGulfs
Estuaries
Freshwater-Standing
waterEx. Lakes &
ponds
-Flowing water
Ex. Rivers & streams
DesertsClimate – Extremely hot during the day and below freezing at
night, dry- low moistureRainfall – Less than 25 cm each
yearSoil – poor and sandy
Plants include: cacti, grasses, shrubs, succulents
Animals include: kangaroo rats, snakes, lizards, insects
Organism Adaptations – water storage, heat tolerance and
burrowing
TundraClimate – Extremely cold, low
moistureRainfall – 20 cm or less each year
Soil – permafrost (frozen year round)
Plants include: lichens, low lying perennials
Animals include: rodents, caribou, musk ox, polar bears,
wading birdsOrganism Adaptations – plants
reproduce at same time because of short growing season,
hibernating, migrating, storing fat, and thick furs
GrasslandsClimate – Mild- Warm to hot, has cold seasons but rarely freezing, seasonal
moistureRainfall – 25-75 cm each year, wet
season - abundance of rain, dry season -little to no rain
Soil – Rich fertile soilPlants include: grasses, herbs, few trees Animals include: buffalo, antelope, deer,
wolves, coyotes, giraffe, elephants, lions, hyenas, wildebeests, zebras,
snakes, lizards, insectsOrganism Adaptations – migrate for
water, plants that withstand trampling and grazing
ForestsClimate – Moderate to cold temperatures, high
moistureRainfall – 40 to 50 cm each year
Soil – Rich soil in some areas and poor soil in rocky areas
Plants include: conifer trees- pine, redwoods, evergreens, cedar; deciduous trees- elm, oak,
maples, wildflowersAnimals include: moose, bears, mountain lions, wolves, birds, insets, spiders, snails, raccoons,
squirrels, deerOrganism Adaptations – coniferous trees have small leaves with waxy coating to protect from
freezing, deciduous trees shed leaves to conserve water and keep from freezing,
animals migrate and hibernate during winters
RainforestsClimate – Warm temperatures, very high
moistureRainfall – Abundant, over 200 cm each
yearSoil – Fertile soil near warm climates and poor thin soil in areas near the
equatorPlants include: broadleaf evergreens,
palms, tree ferns, orchids, bromeliads, vines, lichens and mosses
Animals include: parrots, toucans, snakes, lizards, monkeys, bats, frogs,
jaguars, insectsOrganism Adaptations – tall trees, broad
leaves, and climbing vines to reach sunlight
