Biodiversity

Bring your students to the Blue Hills Trailside Museum to discover the biodiversity of animals in a forest habitat! This outdoor learning experience includes a bird beak variation game, a live animal encounter, and nature journaling focused on Museum exhibit animals that display color variations. Students will investigate how differences in traits can offer survival advantages and use evidence to explain why variation is important in nature. They will also construct arguments, supported by evidence, about why some organisms are better suited to survive than others.
