Our last biome to learn about was the Temperate Forest. We saved the best for last. Since we live in the mountains are technically in the forest this was an easy study for us. In fact, the kid and I have been learning about the temperate (deciduous forest) since we moved up here.
We've discovered lizards, snakes, toads, tree frogs, deer, raccoons, foxes, coyotes, and bears!
All of these amazing animals have been up close and personal ON OUR BACK PORCH. The bear sitting on the back porch was a little too close to comfort for the chickens and I.
We've also visited the Smoky Mountains over the years and were lucky enough to see the elk that have been reintroduced to that environment. They are truly magnificent animals!
We learned about leaves, pine needles, and all the different trees that surround us.
The kids collected a variety of leaves from our trees and made a leaf collection. They had to research to discover what type of tree the leaf came from. It was fun project to do!
We've explored wild flowers.

We found a wonderful selection of reading passages about biomes, worksheets with multiple choice, and for more advance students short answer worksheets. You can check them all out here.
For younger kids, here is a fun matching biome and animal coloring page. The site Ask a Biologist has a lot of great science activities.
The best way to learn about a biome is to get out there and go exploring.
Take a walk, visit a pond, enjoy nature!
Till Next Time,
Monique
