Objective Not Mastered Does not demonstrate knowledge of the various worldwide locations of the biomes using illustrations and descriptive terms.
Animals	Excellent Demonstrates understanding of how various animals in each biome are adapted to their biome and why that adaptation contributes to the animal living and surviving in that biome.	Average Can identify various animal adaptations, but cannot express why the adaptations contribute to the animal living and surviving in that biome.	Objective Not Mastered Does not provide an appropriate number of examples of animal adaptations and demonstrate understanding of how animals living in a biome are adapted to live in that biome.
Plants	Excellent Demonstrates understanding of how various plants in each biome are adapted to their biome and why that adaptation contributes to the plant living and surviving in that biome.	Average Can identify various plant adaptations, but cannot express why the adaptations contribute to the plant living and surviving in that biome.	Objective Not Mastered Does not provide an appropriate number of examples of plant adaptations and demonstrate understanding o how plants living in a biome are adapted to live in that biome.
Guidelines	Excellent Goes above and beyond in following guidelines. Criteria considered are neatness, creativity, interesting and appealing to the eye.	Average Does the minimum required in following guidelines. Criteria considered are neatness, creativity, interesting and appealing to the eye.
