Lessons
Population Change (Coming)
Traversing across Earth’s biomes, explore the abiotic factors that create the differing climates present at each. Consider possible food chains that are found amongst the organisms that make those biomes their home. Finally, participate in the ecosystem of a particular biome as an organism, working to maintain the needs of that organism and keeping your population alive while interacting with other players as organisms who also make that ecosystem their home.
