Habitat Learning Labs should always include signs that explain the purpose of the outdoor learning stations and that identify the plants in each learning station for teachers to effectively use the habitat learning lab as an educational tool with their students.

Example Outdoor Learning Station Signs for Elementary Schools
Educational outdoor learning station signs identify the purpose of the learning stations, explain the scientific concepts related to the learning stations, and describe the types of wildlife habitats and/or ecological benefits the stations provide.
The example learning station signs below could be printed on 18″ x 24″ outdoor signs such as .08 aluminum for approximately $60-80 each. Don’t forget to have holes drilled into the top and bottom of your sign so that you can attach it to a 4″ x 4″ lumber post or a u-post (similar to this one)!
Each of these signs include a QR code that links to a relevant Student Investigation webpage full of educational content about the sign’s topic.
