WEEK 1 HW
Part 1: Location
1. Shade in where your biome is found
on planet Earth
2. Place a star on the specific
ecosystem that you will be doing
your research on
(Example: If your biome is freshwater
lakes, shade in all the lakes, but place
a star on the lake you will be doing
your project on)
Part 2: Ecosystem Components
List 5 Abiotic Factors (not all factors will apply to your biome)
Average Annual Temperature, Seasonal Temperatures, Precipitation, Type of Soil, Tides, Salinity, etc.):
List 10 Biotic Factors (plants, animals, bacteria, fungi)
Part 3: Producers and Consumers
List at least two types of species for each type organism. You need to use their binomial name (Genus specie).
Example: Ursus arctos (grizzly bear)
Producers
Herbivores
Omnivores
Carnivores
Detritivores
Decomposers
Part 4: Food Chains
Create two food chains from using your organisms above.
Food Chain 1
Food Chain 2
Part 5: Food Web
Create a food web by using your food chains. Be sure to include ALL organisms from part 3.
Food Web
Biome HW Week 2
Biome: ___________________________________________
Part 6: Biogeochemical Cycle
Choose one of the following biogeochemical cycles: carbon, nitrogen, or water
Draw this cycle in relation to your biome (use organisms that would be there). This WILL require outside research.
Cycle Chosen: __________________
Part 7: Population Patterns.
Identify at least one organism that would display each of the dispersion patterns
Clumped
Uniform
Identify one organism that would follow each of the survivorship curves
Survivorship Curve I
Survivorship Curve II
Random
Survivorship Curve III
Biome HW Week 3
Part 8: Community Interactions
For each type of community interaction, identify one relationship found in your biome. Name the two species and
describe their interaction.
Relationship
Predation
Intraspecific
Competition
Mutualism
Commensalism
Parasitism
Name of the two organisms
Description of their interaction
Biome HW Week 4

Environmental solution
1. Describe what is being done to solve the problem. Describe in detail their action plan. If nothing is
being done, create an action plan to fix the issue.
