Biome Plants and Animals

Join Hamish, Harper and Bodhi at a dinosaur dig. The team is comparing modern biomes to understand how plants and animals survive in different environments. Read each field note, then solve the challenges.

Field notes: match the conditions

A biome is a large region with a particular climate and characteristic plants and animals. Use the notes to answer Questions 1–4.

Rainforest: warm and very wet; many tall trees, vines and broad-leaved plants.

Desert: very dry; some plants store water, and many animals avoid the heat by being active at night.

Grassland: mostly open land covered with grasses; large grazers and their predators may live there.

Tundra: extremely cold, with a short growing season and frozen ground for much of the year; low plants grow there.

1.Which biome in the field notes is warm and receives very heavy rainfall?
  • Desert
  • Rainforest
  • Grassland
  • Tundra
2.Harper finds a plant with thick stems that store water. Which biome is it best suited to, and why?
3.True or false: A tundra's short growing season and cold conditions make it difficult for tall trees to grow.
TrueFalse
4.Bodhi spots a zebra grazing among grasses. Which biome is the most likely location?
  • Tundra
  • Rainforest
  • Grassland
  • Desert

Survival clues

An adaptation is a feature or behaviour that helps a living thing survive in its environment.

5.Match each survival clue to the biome where it is most useful.
  • A plant has broad leaves to collect sunlight beneath a leafy canopy.
  • An animal rests in a cool burrow during the hottest part of the day.
  • A low-growing plant survives close to the ground in strong cold winds.
  • Desert
  • Rainforest
  • Tundra
6.The team finds a sea turtle swimming over seagrass. Which biome are they exploring?
7.Choose one biome from the field notes. Name one plant and one animal that could live there, then explain how one of them is suited to that biome.
8.The fossil dig site is surrounded by open land, with grasses, few trees and herds of grazing animals. Which biome best fits this evidence? Give one clue that supports your answer.
