Biome Breakout at the Gobi Desert

Climate Zones and Biomes Adventure Pack

Across the wide-open sands of the Gobi Desert, climate systems are shifting.

Temperature maps are misaligned. Biome boundaries are blurring. Tropical, temperate, and polar zones are overlapping in the data model. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the global climate zone system, and if the biome classifications are not restored, explorers could lose track of how living things adapt to different environments.

In Biome Breakout at the Gobi Desert, students deploy the Zone Hopper Rover and begin a high-stakes Earth science mission. By exploring how climate zones are defined, how deserts differ from grasslands and rainforests, and how tundra and polar regions experience extreme conditions, explorers must rebuild the biome map and restore environmental balance.

This adventure blends geography, ecology, and environmental science with story-driven exploration.

What This Adventure Covers

Each Biome Breakout at the Gobi Desert Adventure Pack explores core climate zone and biome concepts, including:

• Climate Zone – A region of Earth with similar long-term weather patterns
• Biome – A large area with specific climate conditions and plant and animal life
• Desert – A dry biome with very little precipitation

• Tundra – A cold biome with frozen ground and limited vegetation
• Temperate – A climate zone with moderate temperatures
• Polar – A climate zone near the poles with very cold temperatures

Each topic appears naturally within the adventure and is required to move the story forward, reinforcing understanding through comparison and exploration rather than memorization.
