Biodiversity Basics

by North Carolina Zoo

Designed
with 1^st graders in mind, we look at the differences between
different creatures, why they are present, and what would happen if any of
these features changed. This is a
hands-on, fast paced option especially effective for students who have a hard
time sitting still!
