Habitat Lab Student Investigations

These Student Investigation webpages help Alabama students enhance the knowledge they gain through Habitat Lab activities. The information provided is a safe, scientific resource for continued learning, with educational websites listed at the bottom of each page for further research.

Teachers can use these webpages to introduce or discuss topics before or after conducting Habitat Lab activities or as an indoor resource when weather prevents outdoor learning. These webpages align with the Alabama Department of Education’s science, education, language arts, reading, and technical education standards and help students explore Alabama’s wildlife, native plants, ecosystems, agriculture, and more.

My kids were so engaged in the web-quest today, and they could easily discuss what they learned from the website because of the easy layout y’all have created and the outdoor experiences we have had together.  – Anthony Capps Schaff, Gulf Shores Middle School, 7th Grade Science Teacher
