Tap to begin this activity. 2. 👀 View the eight Biome Cards in the Activity. 3. 🤔 Choose one biome for independent research. Reflect: What kind of biome do you live in? 4. Research a different habitat and ecosystem in your chosen biome. Be sure to include: - location on Earth - what lives there - how the living things interact with the environment - any threats that may impact that ecosystem (natural or human) - Here are some sites to get you started: https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/explore/nature/habitats/ or https://animals.sandiegozoo.org/habitats 5. Use the Seesaw creative tools to share what you learned. You can share a drawing, annotate photo, or create a video that describes the habitat and ecosystem. 6. Use the label tool or to complete the self-reflection on your research. 7. Tap the check to add to your journal.
