Wander the World: First stop ... Florida

First stop ... Florida Wander_2

The United States is part of North America. Your travels in North America can begin right here in Florida. Florida has many different ecosystems. An ecosystem is a living community of plants and animals that need each other to exist. Think about all of the different ecosystems in your life: your state, your town, your city, your school, your home. Now think about all of the important things in your ecosystem. All animals, including humans, need water, oxygen and food to exist. What do you need to exist? Look through the St. Petersburg Times to find examples of things that you and your family need to exist in your community. Click on the comment button below to discuss the items that are most important in your ecosystem?
