Directions

• For this project you will create a power point
  similar to the one presented.
• Each one of you will choose a Biome that you will
  do research on in order to add factual
  information to your power point.
• The power point should include the name of the
  Biome, the location, climate, environment, and
  the different life that inhabits that particular
  biome.
