Discuss with your team which role each of you will assume. Remember that you are all responsible for learning about the biome you are presenting, but your role reflects an area of particular focus for you as your research
Each team member should choose a website from the resource list and find their biome, they should record facts and information about the biome that would be useful in the presentation.
