This video includes:food webs, 4 types of deserts with examples, examples of producers, first and secondary consumers and territory consumers. Also, there are charts and graphs showing average temperature and rainfall. This video shows all aspects of the desert biome. As well as was to help save our planet form global warming. - created at http://animoto.com
Segment from the program: Aquatic Biomes: Oceans, Lakes, Rivers, and Wetlands.
DVD Description
Our Aquatic Biomes DVD begins by looking at the characteristics common to all aquatic environments. The program then examines the littoral, limnetic and profundal zones of freshwater lakes, the seasonal cycling of O2 and nutrients, and the difference between oligotrophic and eutrophic lakes before observing how life changes along the course of rivers and explaining the ecological importance of wetlands. The photic, aphotic, and benthic ocean zones are then described and marine habitats such as tide pools, kelp forests, coral reefs, and vent communities explored.

Segment from the program: Terrestrial Biomes: Deserts, Grasslands, and Forests.
DVD Description
Our Terrestrial Biomes DVD starts by introducing the four requirements of life - nutrients, energy, liquid water and temperatures appropriate for carrying out life processes and then goes on to explain the factors such as latitude, proximity to oceans, and elevation, that affect climate. Climates relationship to the type of vegetation found in a biome is then explained before introducing students to the major terrestrial biomes including tropical rainforests, temperate rainforests, deciduous forests, savannas, grasslands, chaparrals, taiga, tundra and deserts.

This is a great video to show when you introduce concept and when you test the concept. When you test, you can stop at each of the biomes, have the students make a list of everything they know about, watch the video and then have students cross off items on their list when they appear in the video. This keeps the kids engaged and they are participating.
This is a quirky video about the different biomes on land (terrestrial). I will play this while the students are coming into the classroom between class changes. This gets them looking, sitting and paying attention. After I play it enough times the class will bring it up in discussions when we talk about certain biomes. The music is off beat and general,so the kids don't get stuck on it.
