Designed for 4th-12th grade youth, this kit explores the concept of microclimate using the tools of forestry and meteorology to answer the Essential Question, “How does microclimate influence what living things are found in different habitats?” Youth will record microclimate data, search for animal signs, and identify plants to contrast two different habitats, and then predict how changes in microclimate might impact where populations of living things are found.
This kit was generously provided by Upham Woods Outdoor Learning Center with support from the Rural Partnerships Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
