Name: _____________________________________________________________________ Period: ________ Build a Biome Project Due Friday, November 7th Part 1: Choose your biome. My biome is__________________________. Grassland Wetland Coastal Desert Hot Desert Savanna Tropical Forest Temperate Forest Estuary Taiga Alpine or Artic Tundra What kind of climate does your biome have? Explain using sentences. __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ Part 2: Identify the producers and consumers in your biome. List 3-5 producers that are found in your biome. __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ Fill in the chart below. You need to find 2 herbivores, 2 carnivores, 1 omnivore, and 1 carnivore that is at the top of the food chain. Organism’s Name Role Primary consumer (herbivore) Primary consumer (herbivore) Secondary consumer (carnivore) Secondary consumer (carnivore) Secondary consumer (omnivore) Tertiary consumer (carnivore) What does this organism eat? Which animals are classified as predators? __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ Which animals are classified as prey? __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ Part 3: Create your biome. Choose 1 of the 3 options to create your biome. Option 1: Shoebox Model Create a shoebox model of your biome. It must include: Consumers and producers of that biome. Be sure you label EACH producer and consumer and write the species name. It needs to show the food web that exists there, beginning with the producers. Show how it links together! Label the predators and prey. Attach an energy pyramid by selecting 1 food chain to focus on. Option 2: Ecosystem Poster Create a poster with pictures of what your biome looks like. It needs to include: Images of the biome, either drawn or printed. Be sure it is an accurate representation of your biome’s climate and landforms. A food web with consumers and producers labeled and species name. Label the predators and prey. An energy pyramid (select 1 food chain to focus on.) Option 3: Travel Brochure Create a brochure for a travel agency. The brochure needs to include: A description of the climate the types of animals and plants that exist in your biome. A food web with consumers and producers labeled and species name. An energy pyramid (select 1 food chain to focus on.) Make sure to include pictures! Your Food Web must include: 3-5 producers 2-3 primary consumers (herbivores) 1-2 secondary consumers (omnivores and/or carnivores) At least 1 tertiary consumer (top carnivore) Your Energy Pyramid only needs to be drawn from one link of your food web. Make sure your food chain is representative of your biome!! Your energy pyramid needs to be colored, neat, and label the species name and their energy role (producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, tertiary consumer, etc.) Part 4: Natural Disaster Article. A natural disaster has occurred in your biome! Choose one of the following to be your natural disaster: Hurricane Earthquake Tornado Drought Now write an article about how the natural disaster affects the different species in your biome. It needs to be 1 page, typed, 12-point font. What happened to your biome when the natural disaster occurred? Discuss the different species that were affected and how they were affected. How does this impact the rest of the ecosystem in your biome? How will each species respond to the impact? (Will they survive? Will they be forced to move?)
