SCIENCE WORD OF THE WEEK!

SCIENCE WORD OF THE WEEK!!

Welcome back to class everyone! We had a great fall break here at the University! I’m excited to get to this week’s word though!

This week’s word is Biodiversity! Biodiversity is the variety of life on earth. Biodiversity exists on many different levels and in many different habitats. Biodiversity can include giraffes, elephants and all the gazelles on the savannas in Africa. Biodiversity can also include the small animals in a tide pool. We could go on on about biodiversity. When scientists study habitats they often look at the biodiversity of that habitat. If a habitat has many kinds of animals and plants, it can mean that habitat is healthy. Ellie and Edmond have made you a biodiversity coloring sheet!
