The Freshwater Biome
By: Matthew, Zach, Brandon, Alex
Meteorologist
- Due to the fact that the water on the bottom is blocked from the sun, it would be colder
- If you go to see plants, Spring is your time
- If you are there for swimming, Summer is for you
- Good clothing to bring include:
- Short/long pants
- bathing suit
- long/short sleeve shirt
- crocks or sneakers
- You will ride a river cruise through the freshwater Biome
- You can fish, swim, or enjoy learning about the freshwater biome on board.
What is a Freshwater Biome?
- The freshwater biome is made up of lakes, streams,rivers, and ponds.
- The water is made up a lower concentrate of salt, which allows the animals that live there to live.
- The ponds and lakes range in many sizes and depths.
- Many of them are connected to rivers or streams which filter out many of the algae.
- Usually around the top of the pond or lake there would be an area which would soak up more sunlight than the rest because it is shallower.
Geographer
- In the winter, temperatures vary from 35 F to 45 F
- In the summer, temperatures vary from 65 F to 75 F
- The water temperatures depend on its height
- Because the water on the top is in closer to the sun, the sun make the top warmer
Map of the Biomes
- A freshwater biome is is a group of still or running bodies of water which are not connected to the ocean.
- The water in this biome is fresh and does not contain salt.

- Plants:
Cattails
Lily Pads

Zoologist
- Animals in freshwater regions adapt to low salt content.
- If they went into a high salt content example the ocean they would die.
- Three of the animals that I had searched up were the beaver, trout, and capybara.
- Each of these animals are very unique because they each do something to improve or environment.
