Essential Questions:

• In what biomes do plants grow bigger/taller/faster?

• In what process do plants use the sun to grow? (Photosynthesis)

• We have LOTS of sun in the desert! Why don’t our plants get as big as some of the other biomes?

• What is the relationship between a biome’s temperature, rainfall, & humidity, and plant size as measured by leaf size?
