Description

Education in the environment is critical to the study of the environment. The program Wilderness and You encourages students to understand their environment and the implications of their affect on the environment by looking at it in its natural state - a state which is often called wilderness. This two to three hour program provides a first hand look at that natural environment, man’s relationship to the wilderness, and the limitations that both man and the wilderness have.

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.

Description

Waste in the Natural World complements the grade four Science Unit, Topic A: Waste and Our World from the Alberta Program of Studies, and also connects to other science, social studies, and ecological studies. The essence of this guide is a one-day outdoor field study. Its main focus is on first hand experience – observing, sensing, exploring, and reflecting – connecting students with the life and death cycles of a diversity of life forms and environments. To support this experience, there is background information, classroom activities leading into and out of the field study day, and an appendix of support materials.
