The lessons in this set of activities are written from the perspective that Biodiversity can be learned best in the outdoors where the diversity of life can be discovered and experienced by students first hand, and not simply read about in a book or viewed on a computer. Each lesson is inquiry and experiential based, where students’ natural sense of wonder and discovery is encouraged.
