Ecology is one of the "must-teach" topics for any biology or life science class. What would a good biology class be without a strong unit (or units!) in Ecology? This colorful and visually appealing PowerPoint may be just what you need to spice up your ecology lessons. Our students are the decision makers of tomorrow. It is imperative that we give them the ecological knowledge (global warming, greenhouse effect, habitat destruction) they need so that they can make informed decisions about our future.

This PowerPoint is called "Biomes of the World". It consists of 94 slides that are colorful, informative and visually stimulating. Pictures and diagrams are included that will greatly enhance your instruction to your students. Graphics, diagrams, clip art, and photographs were chosen to capture the attention of the student as the lesson is being taught. Students will use the outline as the PowerPoint is being presented and will fill in the notes as the lesson is being taught. I always include both the Word document and a pdf of the notes.

Topics covered in this lesson are:

  • Biomes: Definition of biome, adaptations of organisms to a biome, tolerance levels of organisms.
  • Overview of the major terrestrial biomes: tundra, taiga, chaparral, temperate deciduous forest, temperate grasslands, deserts, savannas, tropical rain forest, biomes map showing locations.
  • Tundra: Definition, location, major characteristics, common plants, common animals, loads and loads of photos.
  • Taiga: Definition, location, major characteristics, common plants, common animals, loads and loads of photos.
  • Chaparral: Definition, location, major characteristics, common plants, common animals, loads and loads of photos.
  • Temperate Deciduous Forest: Definition, location, major characteristics, common plants, common animals, loads and loads of photos.
  • Temperate Grasslands: Definition, location, major characteristics, common plants, common animals, loads and loads of photos.
  • Deserts: Definition, location, major characteristics, common plants, common animals, loads and loads of photos.
  • Savannas: Definition, location, major characteristics, common plants, common animals, loads and loads of photos.
  • Tropical Rain Forests: Definition, location, major characteristics, common plants, common animals, loads and loads of photos.
  • Aquatic Ecosystems: The importance of marine ecosystems to life on Earth, how aquatic ecosystems are determined, the abiotic factors of aquatic ecosystems.
  • Ocean Zones: Photic zones, aphotic zones, intertidal zone, neritic zone, oceanic zone, benthic zone, hydrothermal vents, estuaries.
  • Students will label a diagram of the different ocean zones.
  • Upwellings, phytoplankton, zooplankton, productivity levels in each zone, species richness.
  • Freshwater zones: Characteristics of freshwater zones, flowing-water ecosystems, standing-water ecosystems, eutrophic lakes, oligotrophic lakes, wetlands, bogs, marshes, swamps.

I recently showed my 7th-grade life science class this biome slideshow. While the content was interesting and kept my students engaged, we found it confusing. The slides transitioned erratically, and the order of biomes jumped around, leaving us feeling disoriented. While my students were relatively unfazed by the slide issues, I couldn't help but feel frustrated by the lack of coherence in the presentation. Despite the confusion, there's certainly room for improvement in terms of organization and flow. Here's hoping for a more streamlined and coherent presentation in the future! Will be buying more from this seller.
