M.A.D Wildlife
Description
Seasonal changes affect the behavior of plants and animals, including people. Winter is one of the most stressful times of the year for most organisms and where we see the most adaptations. Students will participate in activities to learn how plants and animals survive during these major changes and why organisms behave the way that they do in their specific ecosystem.
