Begin by discussing what a garden is and how it serves as a habitat for various plants and animals. Engage students with questions about what they might find in a home garden.

Introduce the concept of a garden habitat using the video 'A Garden Habitat'. This video highlights how gardens support biodiversity by providing homes for insects, birds, and mammals.

Explain the different types of plants commonly found in a home garden and their roles in the ecosystem.

Discuss the various animals that can inhabit a garden, including insects like bees and butterflies, and larger animals like rabbits.

Use the video 'Where Plants and Animals Live' to explore how plants and animals adapt to different environments, including gardens.

Encourage students to identify plants and animals in their local environment that might also be found in a garden habitat.

Have students create a small model of a garden using craft materials to represent different plants and animals.

Use the assessment 'What Lives in a Home Garden?' to have students describe and illustrate the ecosystem of a home garden.

Assign students to observe a garden or a green space at home and note the different plants and animals they see.

Encourage students to draw or write about their observations, focusing on the interactions between plants and animals.

Conduct a class discussion to review the types of plants and animals found in gardens and their roles in the ecosystem.

Use the video 'Habitats' to reinforce the concept of diverse ecosystems and how each provides essential resources for survival.

Have students share their garden observations and discuss the importance of gardens as habitats.

Reflect on how maintaining gardens can contribute to biodiversity and environmental health.

Use the assessment 'Review – Habitats' to test students' understanding of habitats, biodiversity, and ecosystem comparisons.

Encourage students to explore other types of habitats and compare them with a garden habitat.
