Description

The Un-Vacant Lot focuses on the topics of communities and interdependence. A community is a place where a number of plants and animals meet their needs. Interdependence describes the way a person, place or thing depends upon any other person, place or thing. Every living organism on our planet lives in a community and depends on other living and non-living things for its continued existence; no organism can live without affecting or being affected by the environment. The Un-Vacant Lot may take place in the early autumn to serve as an introduction to the year-long study of communities. The Un -Vacant Lot is an activity-based examination of interdependence and communities. The program is divided into three sections: pre-field study activities (conducted in the classroom) that centre on topics such as interactions, communities, and interdependence; a field study at a local vacant lot, where students discover that the vacant lot is in fact full of life; and in-class post-field study...

Description

Where Forest Meets Prairie focuses on the topics of communities, environmental factors, and adaptations. A community is a place where an assemblage of plants and animals live and meet their needs. The program explores an area where forest communities and grassland communities lie adjacent to one another in a patchwork or mosaic pattern. Environmental factors such as moisture, light, and temperature are investigated, along with adaptations, characteristics that help plants and animals to survive in their environment. Where Forest Meets Prairie is an activity-based examination of these topics. The program is divided into three sections: a pre-field study activity (conducted in the classroom) called Adapt - A - Human; a field study at the Montane Trail in Bow Valley Provincial Park where students conduct their own investigations; and in-class post-field activities.
