      Consider saying something like the following to your class.

      These three words are very common academic words. Biology is a branch of science, and biome is actually a term that is often used in biology or other life science classes. Biography, although used in literature and not science, also has a meaning directly based on the root. Biology is the study of living things; a biome is a home for living things; and a biography is a life story.
