Polar Biome

We will learn about the Polar biome and do an Expanding ice experiment. One cup will have been frozen overnight with water and one cup will be filled with water in class and students will note and draw the differences in how the cup looks!
Today we will also introduce the 1st part of the Biome poem. To practice at home, here is the complete poem: "Deserts are dusty and dry places, Hot all day, so water is scarce in these spaces.
The grassland is a prairie or pasture, There are few trees and much grass for the horse and the rancher.
The forest is full of different trees. It has distinct layers that let plants grow with ease.
The arctic is a cold and icy land. The ground is forever frozen, and the landscape is bland.
The aquatic zones are full of water. Oceans and wetlands have fish and otter."
