Antton needs help observing a new location for the polar bears. He has another location for students to scout. Does this location have all the right resources and no other major predators?
LS2.A: Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems

Students can explore how different species have different needs to survive in a habitat. Students can also explore interdependent relationships within ecosystems.
Antton needs your help once more. Tyto was impressed with the student's fieldwork and they believe they found a suitable location. Ask Antton to remind you of the requirements for a polar bear habitat.
Does this new location have everything a polar bear needs to survive? Make observations searching for food, snowy landscape, and a lack of competition.
Using evidence collected from observations, students will build an argument to support their claim. Will this location be suitable for the polar bears?
