The following Habitat Data Sheets will help prepare your class for the visit to the center. The data sheets parallel the exhibit hall habitats. Please review each of the six data sheets with your students. Each habitat has an overview, list of species, important messages, vocabulary and a map. A few suggestions on how to present the information include flash cards for species and vocabulary, habitat essay research assignments, and role playing the components of each ecosystem.
