Science Biome Study

Published October 11, 2011
Class Biome Projects

Recently in Science the fifth grade have been learning about the six major land biomes on earth: the tundra, tiaga, temperate forests, rain forests, desserts and grasslands. Students learned that each biome differs from the other due to its rainfall and temperature. These two factors in turn affect the plants and animals that live there. Check out several of the projects that we have completed!
