Lesson Plan

Our free lesson plan includes a slideshow presentation and printout that educators can use alongside the puzzle to teach students about ecosystems, human impacts, and biodiversity.

It fulfills Next Generation Science Standard MS-LS2-5: Evaluate competing design solutions for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services.

iNaturalist (not sponsored) is a free resource for identifying species. Open the app and take a picture, and it will suggest an identification instantly. Your observation can even be posted to their global community of naturalists who can confirm or refine the identification.
