Mountain Ecosystems

# Surviving Climate and Landscape Venture into rugged mountain landscapes to explore these unique ecosystems. Through immersion and observation, students can develop an understanding of the varied climate and terrain of the mountain ecosystem, meet wildlife along the way and discover the fascinating ways they have adapted to survive in these environments. ## Key Learning Outcomes: 1. Describe key characteristics of a typical mountain biome, focusing on its varied climate, landscape and wildlife 2. Describe how animals and plants are adapted to survive the extreme climate at higher altitude 3. Explain how these adaptations increase the chances of survival in mountain habitat ## How to Use This Playlist: This playlist is designed to help students develop an understanding of typical mountain biomes and how living things are adapted to live within mountain habitats.
