This tab is a great offering for Earth Day or any day! Beautifully designed in a nature theme, it examines different American habitats and the wildlife that live in each. Habitats covered include beaches, marshes, forests, fields, farmlands, mountains, swamps—even students’ own back yards! Species covered include animals, birds, insects and amphibians. Every section includes activities that use the newspaper and challenge students to think about ecology and the environment. Great American Wildlife proves you don’t have to go on safari to find fascinating wildlife.
