Grade 3
Plant Growth & Ecosystems
Plants are an essential part of every ecosystem—and there’s a whole world to discover beneath our feet and all around us! Grade 3 students explore how plants grow and reproduce, how they depend on their environment, and the important roles they play in supporting wildlife and healthy ecosystems. Through engaging discussions, hands-on experiences, and wildlife connections, students build their critical thinking, inquiry, communication, and problem-solving skills while discovering the connections that make ecosystems work.
Whether you visit us or invite our educators into your classroom, we offer meaningful learning opportunities through Animal Ambassador encounters, guided wildlife experiences, interactive classroom programs, and conservation learning.
