At-home Activity: Habitats & Food Chains

This activity is great for parents to do with their kids at home, or for teachers to implement into their curriculum for students. Explore a local habitat and learn about a special bird that lives there, then create your own habitat and learn about the importance of food chains!

Step 1: Watch Cali’s Crib video. Learn about our resident endangered species and why her home is a very special habitat!

Step 2: Create your own diorama of a wetland habitat and discover how species interact along a food chain!

Step 3: Share what you’ve learned with others! Send us pictures of your diorama via an email to watershedwatchers@sfbayws.org or post them to our Facebook page! https://www.facebook.com/sanfranciscobaywildlifesociety
