Click on a biome on the above graph for more information, informative videos, and links to scientist profiles, travel information, lesson plans and species profiles for each region. We'd like to know where you're coming from. If you've used this site for a class project or browsing for fun, add yourself to our map and communicate with other "ecogeeks" A Zunal Biome Zoo. You will be assigned into groups of five and be given one of the world biomes to conduct your research.In your groups you will assign the roles of specialists to break down the assignment.

You will work individually on your specific specialist role and find the information relevant to produce your virtual tour. As a team you will work together to make a virtual tour of your biome through a PowerPoint presentation. You must include; *An introduction page that briefly describes your group and biome *Forms of images, videos, maps, graphs, and other multimedia to make your information easy to read *At least 3 slides for each specialist and their findings *Pictures and descriptions of the animals selected for the new exhibit *Make sure to show the unique characteristics of the biome * Resources from where the information was found are needed to be shown at the end of the presentation Your team will present your virtual tour of your biome to the class.

Ecosystems are communities of interacting organisms and the physical environment in which they live. They are the combination and interaction of the plants, animals, minerals, and people in any given area of the Earth. A small bog, a single sand dune, or a tiny patch of forest is an ecosystem. But ecosystems are also forests covering thousands of kilometers, a major river system, a desert.

Every centimeter of the planet is part of an ecosystem. Maybe the most familiar natural ecosystems are our backyards or parks near our home. Below are the six ecosystems on which life on Earth most heavily depends: Agroecosystems - the farms where we grow our food and the livestock production systems-ranches and hog farms, for example-where we produce meat products. In our heavily industrialized societies, work, religious expression, and recreation often take place in urban areas. It is our very reliance on ecosystems that is threatening them. Ecosystems.
