Biomes

In Chapter 52 of your text book it summarizes eight aquatic and eight terrestrial biomes. For this assignment I want you to give me a summary of the different biomes. Since there are 16 biomes and 16 students, each student should have their own biome to research. You cannot have a biome done by more than one student. Also, take time to read through what other students see about their biome as a quick review. This post is due Thursday, March 17th.

AP Biology Discussion 2

Chapter 52 - Abiotic Factors

In regular Biology you learned the difference between biotic and abiotic factors. Biotic are living factors and abiotic are non-living factors. In Chapter 52 page 1154, the book explains the most common types of abiotic factors. They are Temperature, Water, Salinity, Sunlight, and Rocks and Soil. For your discussion, I want you to pick one of these abiotic factors and explain its importance to the environment. No more than 4 posts on a specific one. Also, take time to read what your classmates find out about a different one from yours. This assignment is due Tuesday, March 8th.
