The Biome Project 

Introduction

Biome-a group of ecosystems with similar climates and organisms

This project will require you to form a travel agency. I am interested in taking a tour of the world biomes. I would like to spend 2 days in 4 different biomes (8 days total). Please send me a travel brochure, an itinerary, and resource list of the most exciting trip your agency can organize. I am very interested in the biotic and abiotic factors of the regions. I would like to experience a variety of activities while exploring the biomes.

Components

*Activities should include exciting ways of exploring the biome’s biotic and abiotic factors.
