Biome
A biome is a collection of ecosystems with similar climate and adaptations of organisms.
We will use VR 360 to take safaris to several biomes. Then we will explore the chaparral in more detail in the following unit.
Your assignment is to be a tour guide for one of the following biomes. Get familiar with every biome using the VR 360 (using a regular computer or iPad). Then choose a biome, write a script, a brochure, or a video of yourself as you introduce eco-tourists to your chosen (single) biome.
Explore these biomes using VR 360 through Arizona State University.
The Desert Biome of southwest USA is found inland of the California Chaparral biome, and has some overlapping organisms.
