Survival in Ecosystems Standalone Field Trip

Students will explore three distinct ecosystems within our sanctuary through hands-on investigation and observation. As they encounter a variety of organisms in each habitat, students will collect data and examine the physical structures and adaptations that enable these species to survive. By comparing life across ecosystems, students will deepen their understanding of biodiversity and the adaptations that allow these living things to be so well suited to their environments.
