Biomes
"I can't imagine anything more important than air, water, soil, energy and biodiversity.
These are the things that keep us alive." - David Suzuki

Connections
Before continuing in this section, Biomes, lets make some CONNECTIONS to the knowledge you already have stored in your information processor (your brain).
Using your understanding of the words geography, ecosystem, and biosphere how do you think they can be related?
You may wish to use the following questions to guide you through your brainstorming process:
Now, if you were to put together the words abiotic and biotic how would you relate them? How do they work together?
Take the time to brainstorm your own hypotheses on the Google Document, Sustaining Earth's Ecosystems – Biomes, available through GoogleClassroom. Afterwards join the discussion in the class.
Work together to generate as many descriptions as possible.

Using your understanding of the words geography, ecosystem, and biosphere how do you think they can be related?
You may wish to use the following questions to guide you through your brainstorming process:
- When you hear the prefix "bio" what do you think?
- What is an adaptation? Is it a positive or a negative occurance?
- How would a biome differ from a biosphere?
- What do you think of when you hear the word climate?
Now, if you were to put together the words abiotic and biotic how would you relate them? How do they work together?
