Biology 20 - Investigation
Climate Graph’s and World Biomes
3. PERFORMING AND RECORDING
Procedure
1. Select four different biomes from the list given in Background
Information. (two of these must be from the first five listed)
2. Research each of your chosen biomes for their biotic and abiotic
characteristics.
3. Identify some factors or terms that are unique to each biome.
4. Using a separate worksheet for each biome, record, in point form,
the abiotic and biotic characteristics for that biome as well as its
location information.
5. Show the location of each biome on the map at the top of the
worksheet by coloring in the area of the world where it exists.
6. From the climate data provided, plot three climatograms
7. Hypothesize which of your biomes is represented by the
climatograms.
Evidence
4. ANALYZING AND APPLYING
Analysis
1. Was it possible to link a biome to its climate graph?
2. What abiotic factor in you biome was most useful in matching up a
biome to a climate graph?
3. Do all ecosystems in a particular biome category have the same
abiotic characteristics?
Synthesis
1. Which biomes from the list provided are the most sensitive to
human disruption?
