About this resource
This quiz covers the major terrestrial biomes and fundamental ecological concepts, making it appropriate for 11th-grade students in an Advanced Placement Environmental Science (APES) course. Students need to understand the defining characteristics of each biome, including climate patterns (temperature and precipitation), vegetation adaptations, soil properties, and biodiversity levels. The questions assess knowledge of specific biome features such as permafrost in tundra, nutrient-poor soils in tropical rainforests, and specialized plant adaptations in deserts. Beyond biome classification, students must grasp essential ecological principles including levels of biological organization, symbiotic relationships, energy transfer efficiency between trophic levels, biomass concepts, and feedback mechanisms. The quiz requires students to analyze quantitative data such as temperature and precipitation values to identify appropriate biomes, demonstrating the integration of scientific data interpretation with conceptual understanding. Created by Julie Laginestra, a Science teacher in the US who teaches grade 11. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for reinforcing key concepts in environmental science and can be effectively used as a formative assessment following instruction on biomes and ecological relationships. Teachers can implement this quiz as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before diving deeper into ecosystem dynamics, or as homework to reinforce classroom learning about global biome distribution patterns. The variety of question types makes it suitable for review sessions before unit tests or as practice for AP Environmental Science exam preparation. This assessment aligns with NGSS standards HS-LS2-2 (ecosystem interactions and energy flow) and HS-ESS3-3 (human impact on environment), while supporting AP Environmental Science learning objectives related to the living world, including ecosystem structure, energy flow, and natural biogeochemical cycles.
