Program Overview
This interactive program is ideal for Biology students. Following a brief overview of phyla, students will identify and classify mountaintop flora and fauna. If desired, you can add on a 45 minute GPS activity in which students will be taught basic GPS skills, and will use what they have learned to find and identify five local plants.
