K-2nd grade: 2-LS4-1 Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.
A habitat is the natural home of a living thng. All living things need food, water, shelter, and space, and they can find those needs in their habitat. Glacier National Park hosts four distinct haitats which leads to our high biodiversity. In this Distance Learning program, a ranger will guide students on a virtual "hike." Your class will explore the four habitats in Glacier and meet at least one animal that lives in each habitat. There may be some suprises along the way, so come prepared for an adventure in the wild!
