As a former weatherman I have a great appreciation for what it is that you and your family are researching. Your mom and dad should be commended for taking such a bold step towards your education...it's remarkable but not surprising considering your dad. Please say hello to whole gang for me and please travel safely. -Steve Cyrus, the detail of this report is astonishing.

When I first saw the term "biome" in your article- I really did not have a clear understanding of what the term meant so I looked it up: "The total complex of biotic communities occupying and characterizing a particular area or zone, such as a desert or deciduous forest." Your article really did a good job in giving lots of examples of different biomes- Love, Grandpop Cole Cyrus, Thanks for the really terrific report on the different types of biomes.

I really like how you reported on how the different biomes are endangered, and some of the possibilities of what we might do to make a difference for their (and our) future. We know that what happens to any part of the world effects us. We are all interconnected in the 'web of life'. We do live in such an amazing world and I hope that each of us does what we can to preserve what we have. We must stand up, speak out, take whatever action we can, and demand our governments make every effort they can to stop the destruction. Bravo to you for speaking up and sharing what you are learning on your amazing field trip. Love you, Grandma Cole Wow, Cyrus, your report is so informative and interesting.

I have been more actively thinking about food, and you are right to point out how our food choices are very closely linked to the health of the planet. As I was reading about the biomes, I thought about ecotones, which are the zones of transition between these biomes, particularly in the context of the plant life. I'm interested in what you've seen at the areas of transition... It is quite clear where the water starts and the land ends, but when you start thinking about it, you might realize that at the tidal area (where you see the tidal pools), you also find quite a different habigtat than in either of the adjascent areas. I wonder how you know where the desert starts, and what the ecotone between desert and non-desert is like?

Quite the report, I'm impressed. I especially like your tips on what we can do ourselves to help protect biomes. I can't believe all that you have seen and done so far. love, Ms. G Wow, Cyrus!
