Students are responsible for researching the relationship between the invasive Cuban brown anole and the native green anole found in South Florida.
Students explore the world of pollinators by researching either honeybees or butterflies, focusing on what their needs are for a successful habitat and the threats they face in South Florida.
Students engage in a mini BioBlitz by surveying their local surroundings to determine species richness and whether there are native or invasive plant species in their area.
In this interactive challenge, you will learn more about your watershed—what it is, why it’s important, and what you can do to help protect it.
