Hello and welcome to our class blog!  Here we will be exploring ecosystems.  In particular you will be researching our world's biomes and how physical factors and location create many different environments.

I would like each of you to visit the World's Biomes link below and read the information on What are biomes? and how many biomes are there?

In class you were assigned one biome to explore.  On the website locate your assigned biome under Terrestrial Biomes.  Click on the link and read the information.

Your assignment is to make one post with the following information about your biome.
1. Location
2. Weather
3. Plant life
4. Animals you can find there
5. One environmental concern
6. Two pictures that you believe represents the image of the biome * See directions below
7. One hyperlink of a game for your fellow classmates to play * See directions below
8. Play at least one game your fellow classmates have posted

Here is the link! World's Biomes

Directions on how to post a picture:
I would like you to post a picture using the links attached to your assigned biome page (Under Terrestrial Biomes).  Below each page there is a links section.  You can explore any of the links and find one picture you believe represents the image of your biome.  Right click on the picture you like and click on Save Image As. Save it under the name of your biome (ex. Tundra) and save it to your desktop. When you create your post and are ready to insert your picture click on the picture icon to insert your image.  Click on upload, choose files and select your saved desktop picture.

Directions on how to post a hyperlink:
I would like you to post one hyperlink of a game for your fellow classmates to play. In your assigned biome page (Under Terrestrial Biomes) you will find a games section with a variety of links.  You can explore any of them and choose which one you believe is fun for your classmates to play.  Once you have chosen which game you like and are on that page go to your search bar and double click on the link. Right click it and copy it.  On your post page click on the Link button and paste your link in the to what URL should this link go? box and then click OK.
