It is a supplementary life science curriculum for middle-school students. Biodiversity Counts presents a hands on, inquiry based, and authentic approach to science, and is linked to national science standards. Biodiversity Counts takes students into their backyards and schoolyards to inventory the plants and arthropods that live there. Students observe behavior, collect data, make identifications, and interpret and share their findings. But most people today feel separated from the natural world.
People care for what they love.
