Intro

This lesson is more self-challenging to the children and you. After all the previous lesson I think there has been one re-occurring theme, The responsibility we have to keep the place where we live in it's original state and learn from the existing organism's around us. There can never be too much emphasis on taking care of our Earth. Another idea that has brought new light to the Environmental Science world is Bio-mimicry. It's the idea that we are organism's that are learning to adapt to our surroundings. It's the action of observing and learning from live organism's, their habits, and habitat's. It's breaking down simple life cycles or life patterns and using it to adapt to our environment. It's letting nature educate us!

This is only the beginning in our road of education to being a more Earth conscious people. If this was the only reason to have a force behind conservation, then it would be sufficient. If it were only for the education that we could enjoy nature for; then we would be a very smart population but a popuplation in distress. There needs to be action. We need to move. Conservation is the key!
