Lesson Summary

Students will conduct an area audit of their school to identify places or features that support wildlife and those that may threaten it. Using real-world examples, they will explore how everyday human activities affect habitats and food chains, and will share their findings through interactive learning lab presentations. Students will identify a local concern for wildlife and work together to design a Wildlife Improvement Plan for the class to consider as a future project.
