Schoolyard Biodiversity
Resource Information
Description
The Schoolyard Biodiversity Investigation provides students with the opportunity to learn about biodiversity in a tangible and available
environment – their own schoolyard. Whether the campus is a sea of cement and grass or contains a diverse garden or forest, the opportunity for students to investigate first-hand will deepen their understanding of biodiversity, ways to measure it, and the impact people have on it. After looking at their schoolyards, students can then apply their newly-gained knowledge to understand biodiversity and its deeper issues in their local habitats, as well as in far-reaching places.
