How do living things thrive in a healthy habitat? Students will develop their own, as well as group responses, to this essential question. With guidance from park staff, students will engage in scientific inquiry while observing plants and animals in Presidio habitats. Program Goals: Students will • Experience national parks as places for learning and recreation • Learn about the natural elements of a habitat and how they interact with each other •Learn how the structure of plants and animals help them to survive Program Objectives: Students will • Conduct an investigation of a habitat • Pose questions and construct explanations based on their own observations
