Biomes and Habitats

~60 min · 15 stations

Biomes and Habitats is a self-paced learning path in Earth Sciences & Geography, free to read, written at General Public / 9th Grade reading level. Across 15 structured stations, you will work through the core ideas step by step, each with a short quiz to check your understanding. By the end you will be able to distinguish between broad regional biomes and localized organism habitats; identify primary climate factors influencing Earth's diverse life zones; analyze the basic energy flow within any natural environment.
