The Forest Deep Dive was one of my first published resources and it’s gotten a major GLOW-UP! ✨
 
I LOVED all these activities but I wanted to round out the unit a bit by adding new lessons/activities and by updating the existing ones. 
 
This unit study looks at the forest ecosystem through a science heavy but holistic lens (meaning that we tackle it through science, ELA, art and health).
