What are Biomes and Climate Zones?
You might be wondering: what exactly are biomes and climate zones? A climate zone is an area of the Earth that shares similar weather patterns, such as temperature and rainfall.
Each climate zone creates its own unique biome, which is a natural environment that supports specific plants and animals.
For example, in the Arctic (a polar climate zone), animals such as polar bears can survive because they are adapted to cold conditions and thrive in this habitat.
A crocodile, on the other hand, prefers much warmer climates such as Florida (a tropical climate zone), where hot weather and wetlands create the perfect environment for it to live and hunt.
Our climate zones lesson plans and activities are created with lots of interesting facts on various climate zones. Designed by teachers to keep young learners engaged, all of our resources are ready-to-teach and don’t require extra planning. Whether it is at the KS1 or KS2 level, we have a lesson plan that will save you lots of time.

Why Teach Biomes and Climate Zones at the Primary level?
Teaching children about biomes and climate zones helps them understand the planet better.

Children tend to have a love for animals, but learning more about the environment that they live in helps educate them more about their living conditions. The Biomes and Climate Zone lesson plans will help children:
- Learn about the ever-changing climate zones around the planet
