Talk together

  • What does this living thing need?
  • Where can it find that?
  • Why would another place be harder?

Get ready

  • s2-habitats mat and deer, grass, fish and tree cards; no real animal handling.

Safety

  • A grown-up chooses a safe accessible route and stays close; hold hands near streets. Stay away from traffic, wildlife, unknown plants and standing water; use photos indoors if needed.
  • A grown-up stays within reach of water. Use small amounts in shallow unbreakable trays, away from power; wipe spills and wash hands. Do not drink test water.
