WHO’S WHO IN THE HABITAT?

Take a closer look at habitats, natural communities and the interrelationships between plants and animals that live within them. What are the components of habitat and how do human activities affect them? Students will look at forest, field and aquatic habitats and investigate their components as well as their human influences. Students will be able to conduct a field exercise by dip-netting for the rich diversity of aquatic life in a healthy stream environment.
