This biome was pretty easy for us. For years, the kids and I have walked down to the creek and explored its hidden treasures. We've seen frogs, small fish, crayfish, turtles, and a variety of plants along the banks. We even carried home a few special rocks that the kids just couldn't leave behind.
Since we were so familiar with the freshwater biome, the kids decided not to create a diorama for this particular biome. We just took a walk instead! Hands-on learning and a nature walk all in one!
Ducks and Geese....
Fish....
Small waterfalls....
Crayfish...
Polished river stones....
Michael found a crayfish nursery.
They are so little.
and we used an underwater microscope to explore things more closely.
Michael even used a water straw to purify the water and drink some. He's ready to go camping and prepared if he gets lost.
Books about freshwater biomes....
