Lab 3 - Biodiversity - Report

This document provides instructions for a student worksheet activity using the BiomeViewer app to analyze and compare biodiversity patterns across different biomes. Students are asked to record data on temperature, rainfall, and species richness for three biomes, then specifically compare the Sahara Desert and tropical rainforest at similar latitudes. They are finally prompted to provide an opinion on the importance of biodiversity and actions needed to sustain it.
