Get your game card and some markers to put on the numbers.  Cover the numbers as they are called out. Raise your hand or call, "Got it!" when you have two rows filled. Winner gets 500 bonus points

Add up all the numbers in the ovals of the spaces that you covered on your own card. Write your total here: __________ . Join a group of 2-4 people in the same biome.

List your totals here: then add the totals up to get a grand total for your group.

Your grand total gives you the the number of square meters in your biome. Your biome produces the number of KiloCalories per square meter listed in the chart below. This is the Primary Productivity of your biome.

KiloCalories   Per   Square   Meter   Per Day	Desert	Tundra	Grasslands	Coniferous Forest	Deciduous Forest	Tropical Rain Forest
	1	2	7	10	16	25

Now multiply to figure out how many calories you have for your animals to eat:

(Total Number of Points) * (Primary Productivity of biome) = KiloCalories for Your Animals to eat.

Now pick out your herbivores! You need groups of each kind so each kind can reproduce. Keep track of the Kilocalories!  Your total for all of the herbivores must not be more than your Total Number of Points.

	Tiny Herbivores under 5 pounds	Small Herbivores rabbit 15 pounds	Medium Herbivores sheep 150 pounds	Large Herbivores cow  1000 pounds	.	Small Carnivores fox,hawk 10 pounds	Medium Carnivores wolf 200 pounds	Large Carnivores lion 400 pounds
KiloCalories  Needed Per  Day	150	550	2,000	15,000	.	600	3,000	6,000
How many   do you     have?	. .	.	.	.		.	.	.
KiloCalories	.	.			.	.	.	.

Carnivores eat herbivores, but don't get all their KiloCalories. Carnivores get

(for example, if your grand total =24,000, your carnivores will have 2,400 calories. You will only be able to have small carnivores.)

Choose the numbers and sizes of your carnivores. Calculate the KiloCalories that they will need. Now go to the biomes on earth and figure out which animals could be in your biome! Draw a picture of your ecosystem or make a food pyramid or diorama.
