Science Unit Plan – Habitats and Communities

This grade four mini-unit focuses on students learning about the interdependence of plants and animals (including humans), within habitats and communities.  It provides activities to engage students and allow them to learn through movement.  In particular, the lessons focus on components of a habitat, the theme of interdependence, food chains, food webs, and how the loss of a species affects other species within a food web and within the larger community.
