"Biomes of the World in Action" is a fun, informative series that takes students on a fast-paced eco-adventure around the world exploring the many characteristics that make these large regions of the world different from one another. From the tundra and rainforest to grasslands and deserts, students will learn that each biome is unique because of its climate as well as its diverse collection of plant and animal species. Stunning footage will help students experience these "major life zones." Each program includes a stimulating experiment that students can replicate in the classroom, as well as information about an investigation data sheet available online that can be used for assessment purposes. This series is based on the concepts outlined in the "National Science Education Standards" for life science.
Deciduous Forests Forests are biomes in which trees are the main life form, but what makes a forest deciduous? In this informative program, students will explore these colorful woodlands that change with the seasons. Students will learn about the many different types of plants and animals that inhabit both the temperate and tropical deciduous forests, while a hands-on investigation about leaves and their pigments is examined through a process called chromatography.
