Aquatic Habitats

In this fascinating series of activities, students set up and observe living, desk-top models of a pond. These aquatic habitats beautifully illustrate the dynamic, interactive nature of living ecosystems. As children set up ponds and add organisms they are drawn into the compelling drama of life, in all its complex and cyclical vitality. No special science knowledge or training is necessary. This complete guide includes clear, step-by-step directions, a complete resource list of accessible materials, thorough background information, and literature connections.
