=WELCOME TO SANDRA'S EDM WIKI.=

The purpose if this wiki is to serve as a course exercise in wiki development.
As part of the development of this wiki, we will be discussing biomes from different parts of the world. In sixth grade science, the students are required to learn about land and aquatic biomes. This year the students at our school will be participating in a science research project that involves comparing the climate and biodiversity of Madre de Dios, Peru with that of Bayou La Batre, Alabama. The biomes in these two areas are the tropical rain forest and the temperate deciduous forest. We are trying to find out what factors determine the type of biodiversity that an area has. The students and I will be using wiki to record and compare data found during the project. We will also be referring to several links for information on the wildlife of Tambopata Research Center in Madre de Dios, Peru and Bayou La Batre, Alabama. For this initial state of wiki development I would like to display some background information on different biomes and their biodiversity. Though our school will be focusing on tropical rain forests and temperate deciduous forests, other biomes will be discussed during class. I would love to share descriptions, photos, and experiences you all may have had in different areas of the world and have my students try to identify which biome you are referring to. Please be sure to describe the type of weather, plants, and animals you encountered in the area you write about. If you would like to add pictures, please feel free. The more the better!
