Biomes of the World

Biomes of the world.
We have learnt all about the different categories of animals. We are now going to place them in there respective environments. These are the different areas of the world where certain species will best survive. Some of the questions we will be dealing with are as follows.

1. What are Biomes?
2. What are the names of the different Biomes?
3. Place them on a map and use a key to identify them.
4. Identify two contrasting Biomes and study them in more detail explaining the Fauna and Flora of each area and how they have adapted to their environments.

Fish Dissection

Well done to all of you! Marks were awarded for neatness, a scientific approach, labeling and participation. I hope you enjoyed the lesson.

The time is coming up for you to show what you have learnt during this year. To study for Biology you should never just read over your notes. Use mind maps, keywords, "hospital cards"(remember we discussed them at the beginning of the year). Although there is a lot of work if you start revising soon you will not need to worry at the end of the month.

The next section that we are working on are all the Vertebrates. This includes Amphibians, Fish, Reptiles, Mammals and Birds. Genesis1: 20,24 tells us how unique and wonderfully God has created all these animals.

Hopefully you are building up strength for the fish dissection at the end of this section.

Get ready to study by making a Word Hospital. Write all the new vocabulary words on small cards with their meaning on the back, place all the cards in an envelope . Every time you do homework go over and learn the words. Once you know the words place the card in a second envelope and keep it there for revision at a later stage. You will be supprised at how many new words you can learn in this way.
