Minnesota Biomes and Climate Factors

The video introduces Minnesota's biomes, focusing on the four main types: temperate forest, coniferous forest, tall grass aspen parkland, and prairie grassland. It discusses how water and climate influence these biomes and the organisms within them. The video also highlights human impact on biomes, such as land use changes due to agriculture and development. Students are guided to explore these biomes through provided resources and activities, with an emphasis on understanding the diversity and changes in Minnesota's landscapes.
