Biodiversity Education for Kids

Methodology

Picture
1. We have researched current science curriculum for grades 4-8 in local Rhode Island schools.
2. We have designed a tentative structure for our project:
  • We will visit a classroom where we will put the kids into several small groups or 3-4 depending on classroom size
  • We will ask two questions about biodiversity prior to the start of our workshop 
  • Each group will be asked to match different animal species to their respective ecosystems
  • We will discuss the answers and show our PowerPoint presentation on biodiversity and global warming
  • We will then ask them to match the species again to see if their answers have improved!
