The Tundra Biome

A mountain goat jumps from one rocky ledge to another, a group of arctic hares huddle together for warmth, and a musk ox uses it hooves to dig for plants in the snow. We are visiting the tundra biome. Your readers will learn about the difference between the arctic and alpine tundra, which plants and animals live there, and how they have been able to adapt and thrive in the frozen tundra. In a follow-up activity, readers will utilize a graphic organizer to share their research on tundra wildlife and the adaptations that enable them to live in this harsh but beautiful biome.
