As a part of this activity, we discuss various elements of a habitat and the importance of having them all and having them in a suitable arrangement. Interdependance is particularly stressed. This and other Project WILD activities tie in very well to many of the standards programs being used today. At our workshops, we strive to teach you how to correlate the activities with these standards. Some of the themes covered in the Science TEKS and addressed by the Habitat Lapsit activity are The students use models to help them understand a system.
Organisms are interdependent upon each other and depend on their environments.
Complex systems are made up of individual parts, all of which are important. Ecosystems consist of various components. Some animals may adapt and survive despite changing environments. Natural and human activities can impact environments.
