Biome
Biome
A community of plants, animals, and soil organisms living in a climate
Biome
This is the term used to describe the conversion of vapor or gas to a liquid.
Condensation
This is the natural environment where a plant, animal, or other organism lives. This environment provides the necessary conditions like food, water, shelter, and space for survival.
Habitat
A process of objectively establishing facts through testing and experimentation.
Scientific method
This is the term referring to the outcomes, effects, or consequences of an action. Each of outcome in an experiment is observed and recorded and kept in a journal as data.
Results
This is defined as the average weather in a region over a long period of time
Climate
This is any liquid or solid that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to earth.
Precipitation
A respiratory organ used by some animals to extract dissolved oxygen from the water. The body can then use the oxygen to make energy in their body.
Gills
This is the term referring to an informed guess based on what you know. This is usually stated as an IF, THEN sentence.
For example: IF I were to turn a lamp on, THEN I’m guessing it will be easier to read at night time.
Hypothesis
This biome has low rainfall and the plants have evolved so they can live with less water
Desert
the amount of moisture in the air
Humidity
The group that remains unaffected or unaltered by your experiment.
For example this group may be two boxes of sowbugs with no soil at all in either container.
Control group
A group of arthropod animals that live mostly in water, have a hard shell, a segmented body, and jointed appendages. Like a lobster or shrimp.
Crustacean
The end or final part of an event or process.
Conclusion
Recorded facts, observations, and results
Data
This biome is characterized by extremely low temperatures 🥶, a short growing season, and poor soil nutrients
Tundra
This term refers to the variables that result from manipulating the independent variables.
Dependent variable
A small environment.
Microenvironment
A test or trial that involves a series of actions and careful observations of what happens.
Experiment
Detailed examination and evaluation of data and results. Looking what the results might mean.
Analysis
A partially enclosed, costal water body where fresh water from rivers and streams mixes with salt water from the ocean
Estuary
The elements in soil that plants can absorb and use to grow.
Soil nutrients
All the different kinds of life you find in one area. It is the variety of animals plants fungi and even microorganisms like bacteria that make up our natural world.
Biodiversity or Diversity
The variable in the experiment that you make different between the groups.
For example:
The different soils put in the pillbug microenvironments
OR
The different locations that you put the plants in the home sweet biome project.
Independent Variable
These bodies of water are affected by the tides, but are sheltered from the full force of ocean wind and waves. Here, water of different salt concentrations mixes and creates an interesting diversity of plant and animal life.
