Meeting #8 Biodiversity

 

 

 

We talked about biodiversity and why it is so important. I explained that if every plant were the same, animals would not be able to survive because they wouldn't have food, and those plants wouldn't survive because they were all competing for the same limited resources. 

 

 

 

Then, we gathered leaves of different types for rubbings in our nature journals. We talked about the different shapes of the leaves and how to tell them apart by the way they look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We even found wild berries and discussed we should never eat them when we find them in the woods!
