Biomes and Microhabitats Assessment

The video tutorial introduces seventh-grade students to the concept of biomes, defined as large communities of plants and animals in distinct world regions. It explains that biomes can be terrestrial or aquatic and consist of multiple ecosystems. The focus then shifts to microhabitats, small parts of the environment supporting specific flora and fauna. Examples of microhabitats include areas under trees, rocks, or leaves. Students are instructed to read an article on microhabitats and answer questions. They are also guided on completing a foldable project related to the topic. The session concludes with reminders for students.

• A type of biome

Which of the following is an example of a microhabitat?

Why might an organism thrive in one microhabitat but not another?

• Because microhabitats are always terrestrial

• Because all microhabitats are identical

• Due to differences in environmental conditions

• In the trash

• On the teacher's desk

• In their locker

What should students avoid when attaching the foldable to lined paper?
