Biomes - Unit Assessment

The Year 4 Geography unit assessment on Biomes, created by Focus Education (UK) Ltd, is a comprehensive test designed to evaluate students' understanding of different biomes around the world. The assessment consists of a series of multiple-choice questions that cover a range of topics including the characteristics of various biomes such as deserts, grasslands, rainforests, savannahs, and tundras. Students are required to identify biomes from given options, describe the climatic conditions of a savannah, and recognize features unique to rainforests such as the canopy and understory.

Further questions in the assessment delve into the true statements about the tundra, the types of animals found in grasslands, and the continents where tundra can be located. The test also asks students to illustrate their knowledge by identifying biomes from pictures and describing the attributes of a desert. Additionally, students are challenged to name animals that inhabit marine biomes and to determine the correct biome for species such as rattlesnakes and scorpions. The final section of the assessment requires students to apply their disciplinary knowledge by listing five endangered species, thereby showcasing their broader understanding of environmental science and ecology related to biomes.
