Prairie Conservation

Students examine how effects of farming practices in the early 20th Century contributed to severe soil erosion of a large portion of the North American grasslands.

Students explore the challenges of saving the prairie-chicken in its American habitat, and study the habits of prairie-chickens. They explore what is being done to save them, and conserve the areas in which they live.

In this Arbor Day writing worksheet, students collaborate with others to write a story about trees and Arbor Day. Students have 25 minutes to write and must use the 16 words in the box.
