The Nature Conservancy: Gardens Activity Guide: Habitats

Curated by ACT

In this lesson learners learn how the garden provides habitat for a variety of different animal species. They make observations and collect data to determine which species inhabit the garden. They will investigate relationships among them, and identify factors that may affect them. Students use this data to track species over a period of time to discover patterns between their habitat and biodiversity. [3.33]
