Description
Students investigate the interactions of living things in an outdoor area near their school in this Biodiversity Counts activity. The printable four-page PDF handout includes a series of inquiry-based questions to help students identify what they already know about how organisms are connected and depend on one another, step-by-step activity directions that emphasize safe behavior, and a worksheet that asks students to record their observations and calculate the area's biodiversity index.
