Yesterday, we discovered so many features of the deciduous forest. Today we are going to look at a new biome called Grassland. What makes this biome different than the ones we've studied? What features makes this biome unique? 
Take a look at this biome. Does it look familiar? What do you notice? Write down your findings in your Science Notebook.
Using your science notebook, you are going to research more about the desert biome. Color in your map where deserts are located in the world. Write down in your notebook features that make the desert unique.
Authors write for several reasons.

Many authors write to entertain people and make them laugh.
 | Authors also write to persuade or convince their readers to believe in something. | Sometimes authors write to inform or teach you about something.  |

Using your laptop and the link below explore the National Museum of Natural History. Look carefully at the Mammal Hall and the Ocean Hall. Zoom in and read some of the information that is presented in this virtual tour. In your science notebooks, write about what you are noticing? Are all of these animals found in the same habitat? What kind of animals do you see and in what environment would you find them? Jot down your notes in your science notebook.
