Grade 4
Habitats, Classifications and Biodiversity
From forests and wetlands to the animals that call them home, every living thing has a place and a role in the natural world. Grade 4 students explore habitats, discover how organisms can be classified, and investigate the incredible diversity of life around us. Through engaging discussions, hands-on experiences, and close encounters with wildlife, students build their critical thinking, inquiry, communication, and problem-solving skills while developing a deeper understanding of biodiversity and the natural world.
Whether you visit us or invite our educators into your classroom, we bring these concepts to life through Animal Ambassador encounters, guided wildlife experiences, interactive classroom programs, and conservation learning.
