NEW RELEASE!

The moment you step out the front door you are walking into a biome? Your own backyard is part of an ecosystem? Wildlife and the environment work together to make the world a harmonious place. The climate, animals, and vegetation vary in many different parts of the world which make that area a specific biome with its very own characteristics.

When the seasons change, the weather changes and the environment changes, too. When the weather gets cooler, leaves fall off the trees, animals move or leave the area, and the grass dies and changes colors. One little change in the ecosystem can effect the whole biome? That is what an ecosystem is and how it works! By viewing this video, students will learn about several different major biomes of the world and how they interact with each other.

After viewing the ECOSYSTEMS AND BIOMES program and engaging in the activities provided, students will be able to:
• Define ecosystems and biomes
• Appropriately use introduced vocabulary in writing and discussion
• Identify the seven major biomes
• List characteristics of different biomes
• Identify the geographic location of the major world biomes
• Become more aware of the role of the environment and their job in the ecosystem
