Predict the biome Temperature × rainfall → biome on the Whittaker diagram. Watch the classic traps fall: hot ≠ rainforest.
Build a biome Stock a tank with producers, consumers & decomposers and read a live ecosystem-health report.
Predict the ripple Add or remove a species — guess rise, fall, crash, or steady before the whole food web reacts.
BiomeForge Journey A path through every kit — clear each stop of real practice, then move on. All activities
Hands-on labs
Climate → Biome Read a real place’s climate on the Whittaker diagram and predict its biome — temperature and rainfall together. Biome Builder Balance producers, consumers & decomposers into a Thriving, resilient food web that could survive losing a species. Food-Web Lab Predict a trophic cascade before the web reacts — otters & kelp, wolves & aspen, and more. Who Helps Whom? See what an interaction does to each partner, then classify it — mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, or predation. Teach the Cast Teach an ecosystem idea to a cast member still learning it — teaching makes it stick.
Practice & play
Mixed Practice A short round across the kits you have played — brought back to make it stick. BiomeForge Sprint Race your OWN best on what you already know. Timer optional, no penalty for a miss. Trick Questions Brain-teasers with a twist — spot why the obvious answer is a trap. BiomeForge Duel 2–4 players take turns on one device — same questions, highest first-try score wins. Or open an online room. Progress Your levels, streak, and how each skill area is coming along — saved on this device. Progress report For grown-ups — a private on-device snapshot mapped to the skill areas. Export a CSV or print.

-
Canopy Forest biomes (temperate, tropical, taiga) -
Dune Desert biomes (hot, cold, semi-arid) -
Reef Aquatic biomes (coral reef, freshwater, marine) -
Ridge Mountain / alpine / vertical-zonation biomes -
Flux Climate-biome mapping (where biomes shift with climate) -
Burrow Ecosystem engineers — some animals build homes for a hundred others; dig, and the neighborhood moves in -
Graze Keystone herbivores + grasslands — a grassland needs its grazers; eat, move on, keep the prairie alive -
Kelp Keystone species + trophic cascades — one keystone holds up a whole forest; pull it and everything topples -
Marsh Decomposition + nutrient cycling — nothing is wasted; the dead feed the living, the water remembers -
Silt Sediment + ecological succession — new land is built one grain at a time; life moves in the moment it's ready
