Okay... So you know your job. Now it is time to begin your mission to discover some very important information about the biome of your choice.
Through this WebQuest you will investigate one the six biomes of the world. There are six different areas of the biome that you will research.

The areas to research are listed below. As you research these areas, determine what they have to do with a biome. How would this same information about other biomes be different? Is the information you find as you research going to differ from other groups that are doing a different biome? Why?
Areas to research are:
