Grade 6
Biodiversity and Interactions
Nature is a network of connections. Grade 6 students explore biodiversity and investigate the many ways living things interact with one another and with their environment. From predator-prey relationships to competition and cooperation, students discover how these interactions shape communities and contribute to healthy ecosystems. Through engaging discussions, hands-on experiences, and real-world wildlife examples, students build their critical thinking, inquiry, communication, and problem-solving skills while exploring the complexity of the natural world.
Whether you visit us or invite our educators into your classroom, we bring these connections to life through Animal Ambassador encounters, guided wildlife experiences, interactive classroom programs, and conservation learning.
