Lesson 3 Habitats: Flora of the Appalachian Plateau

Hello, young learners!

We are going to start diving into our five regions of Georgia and the plants and animals that are most commonly found in each of those regions. The first of the five regions we are going to study is the Appalachian Plateau, which is the smallest region. Today, we will look at just the flora–or the plant life–of this region. Start your journey with the video that explains the Appalachian Plateau. Then look at the digital poster about the flora of this region.
