Exploring Local Biodiversity Together
A Grade 3 Science Adventure Discovering Life Around Us
What is Biodiversity?
Bio = Life Diversity = Many Different Types All the different plants, animals, and living things in one place Like a big nature family with lots of members!
Plants in Our Neighborhood
Trees give us oxygen to breathe Flowers provide food for bees and butterflies Ferns and mosses keep soil healthy Each plant has a special job!
Animals All Around Us
Birds eat insects and spread seeds Squirrels plant trees by burying nuts Bees help flowers make new flowers Every animal helps nature in special ways
Think and Share
What would happen if all the bees disappeared? What if there were no trees? How do plants and animals help each other?
