Biomes are defined as a large, naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat. As you can imagine, these activities help to bridge and formalize more focused science activities in the classroom. Understanding the layers of a rainforest, or types of plants that grow in the desert, means that we can understand why turtles have hard shells, and birds beaks and colors are so different. These activities are for learning about the big picture, and the relationships of animal and plant communities, and the questions that occur during these lessons are the things that make teachers smile.
