The Early Years: Exploring Biodiversity
Ashbrook, Peggy
Science and Children, v54 n7 p18-19 Mar 2017
The importance of biodiversity to human life and the benefits of a diverse ecosystem are not often obvious to young children. This column discusses resources and science topics related to students in grades preK to 2. The objective in this month's issue is to introduce children to the diversity of plant life in a given area through a plant scavenger hunt, and to guide children to make close observations.
