<h1>🌍 Plant Diversity & Biodiversity Review</h1>
<h2>Week 28 — Friday | Why Plant Variety Matters</h2>
<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">
<p>This week we explored how plants around the world have adapted to survive in different habitats. From cacti in hot deserts to mosses in frozen tundras, every plant has special features that help it get the water, sunlight, and nutrients it needs. Scientists call the variety of life in an area <strong>biodiversity</strong>. High biodiversity means many different types of plants and animals living together, which makes an ecosystem stronger and more able to survive changes.</p>
<p>Plants are the foundation of almost every ecosystem on Earth. They produce oxygen through photosynthesis, provide food and shelter for animals, and keep soil healthy so it doesn't wash away. When one type of plant disappears, it can affect many other living things that depend on it. That is why <strong>conservation</strong> — protecting plants and their habitats — is so important. People protect plants by creating nature reserves, planting native species, and reducing pollution that harms air and water.</p>
<p>Some plants are now <strong>endangered</strong>, meaning there are very few left in the wild. This can happen because their habitat is destroyed, the climate changes too quickly for them to adapt, or humans collect them faster than they can grow back. By learning about plant diversity and how plants adapt, we can better understand how to protect them. Even small actions, like planting a garden with native flowers or recycling to reduce pollution, help preserve the incredible variety of plants on our planet.</p>

<h3>🌿 Plant Diversity Poster Project</h3>
<div class="activity-box">
<p><strong>Project Instructions:</strong> Create a poster showing plants from at least 3 different habitats. For each plant, include: the plant name, its habitat, 2-3 adaptations, and a drawing of the plant. Add a title and a sentence about why plant diversity is important.</p>
</div>
<h3>📋 Poster Planning Sheet</h3>
<p><strong>Use this chart to plan your poster before you draw it.</strong></p>

<h3>✅ True or False — Circle Your Answer</h3>
<p><span class="circle-box"></span> <strong>1.</strong> Biodiversity refers to the variety of life in an area.</p>
<p><span class="circle-box"></span> <strong>2.</strong> Plants are not important for animals because animals only eat other animals.</p>
<p><span class="circle-box"></span> <strong>3.</strong> Conservation means protecting plants and their habitats.</p>
<p><span class="circle-box"></span> <strong>4.</strong> An endangered plant is one that is very common everywhere.</p>
<p><span class="circle-box"></span> <strong>5.</strong> Native species are plants that naturally grow in a specific area.</p>
<p><span class="circle-box"></span> <strong>6.</strong> Pollinators like bees help plants make seeds and fruits.</p>
<p><span class="circle-box"></span> <strong>7.</strong> Destroying a habitat can cause plants to become endangered.</p>
<p><span class="circle-box"></span> <strong>8.</strong> High biodiversity makes ecosystems weaker and less able to survive changes.</p>
