About the wetlands biome

Wetlands โ€” marshes, swamps, bogs, fens, and floodplains โ€” are some of the most productive ecosystems on Earth. They filter water, buffer floods, and host an incredible diversity of birds, amphibians, fish, and plants. This collection covers wading birds, amphibians, reptiles, aquatic insects, and the plants that hold these ecosystems together.

Use for water-cycle units, ecosystem-services lessons, and conservation discussions about why wetlands matter even when they aren't pretty.

Use the Wetlands collection as the visual half of a biome unit. Print a sampler of 6โ€“10 species, lay them out on a table, and ask students what they share in common: body shape, color, behavior, diet. Then have students pick one species, color it carefully, and write a paragraph about how it survives in this habitat.
