 Current Events and today’s assignment

Today’s assignment is to be completed in our binders.

1. Look at the news over the last 72 hours. Describe what’s happening to bees and what are the possible causes. Also describe how this affects us.
2. Tides:  How many high and low tides does Pacifica experience in a 24 hour period (one day?)
3. Research and draw. In our binders - At LOW tide at Linda Mar State Beach there are tide pools both north and south of the main beach. Choose an ANIMAL you might find in the the pool. Draw it. Describe its diet, habitat, part of the tide zone in which it lives, and how the animals is being affected by ocean acidification and global climate change.

California Biomes Assignment - Environmental Studies - 03.24.2025 - Monday

 California Water and Biomes

Include one slide for each of the following:

1. Each slide must have a picture of the California Biome
2. There are six California Biomes (Marine, Forest, Freshwater, Grassland, Desert, and Tundra) 
3. Include one animal species found in each biome. Make sure to include both the common and scientific name.
4. Include one plant species found in each biome along with the scientific name.
5. How much annual rainfall does each biome receive?
6. Write a few sentences describing the biome. In other words, if you found yourself in that biome; what would expect to see, smell, hear, feel, etc.
7. Name one environmental challenge facing the biome. In other words - something that may have a negative impact on biodiversity. Example: As global warming takes hold deserts - which are already hot and arid - may become unlivable for some species that currently reside there.
