The forest page, for example, begins with an introduction to forests and then moves on to discuss the tropical, temperature, and boreal forests in particular. Temperature, precipitation, flora, and fauna are all covered here. Specific Biomes Younger students will likely be able to find most of the information they need in the sites above, but they may also enjoy viewing some sites specifically about the biome they're studying. From National Geographic, this interactive site explores the diversity of a forest, including information about plants and animals. Students go on a virtual field trip to find the facts and then create a fantastic forest of their own.
Coral reefs are one of the most popular aquatic biomes.
Created by students, this site covers the types of coral reefs, basic anatomy and physiology of the coral, and how the ecosystem of a coral reef works. A glossary and quiz complete the site. A water company in Australia designed this site, which covers the different regions of a pond and the plants and animals that live in each. There is an index to the organisms, and tips for tide pooling are included. Focusing on the Ecuadorian Amazon rain forest, this site covers basic information about the ecology of the forest and the people who live there.
