Land Biomes of the United States Reading Comprehension Passages
By Science and STEAM Team
This resource contains six non-fiction texts about biomes of the United States. It was made for the NGSS 3-LS2 Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics.
It covers the following biomes:
desert
grasslands
tropical rainforest
temperate forest
taiga
tundra
The passages were written with third graders in mind, but the information is very interesting and would be useful for upper grades as well. Some passages are shorter than others and have less complex language so that you can easily differentiate for students.
There is a tips sheet for teachers and a recording sheet for students on which they can note where the biome is found, the average annual precipitation, the average temperature, and plants and animals of the biome. Students respond to a question asking if they would like to live and that biome and tell why or why not.

Animal Adaptations #2 Informational Reading Comprehension Passages
By Science and STEAM Team
This resource contains six informational reading passages about animal adaptations. There is an engaging animal adaptations worksheet for students to fill out as they read. It was made for the NGSS 3-LS2 Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics.
It covers the following animals in the following ecosystems:
Jackrabbit - desert
Great White Shark - ocean
Rock Ptarmigan - arctic tundra
Dragonfly - wetlands
Box Turtle - temperate forest
Armadillo - southern regions (this is an extra because I took these great pics)
The passages were written with third graders in mind, but the information is very interesting and complex and would be useful for upper grades as well. Even I learned things while researching the adaptations! There is a tips sheet for teachers and two recording sheets (differentiated) for students on which they can note the adaptations that their given animal has in order to survive in its ecosystem.
