Wild
Wetlands*
Watch or download an 81 second video clip of this workshop, from the Play it Again Video.
Wetlands are found in our own backyards throughout British Columbia and are important to both animals and people.
Wade into wetlands with us to discover how animals use these unique habitats as homes, hotels, restaurants and nurseries. This workshop engages teachers in a wide range of exciting hands-on activities, methods and resources designed to jump-start K-7 science programs. These flexible activities do not require expensive scientific equipment or expertise and can be adapted to different grade levels. Each activity is designed to support or be incorporated into a unit of study.
Explore a variety of adaptations that animals exhibit and allow them to survive in the wetlands. Examine how different animals use the wetland environment as you study clues that have been left behind. Participants will have the opportunity to create a track tale to solve the mystery using the clues. This workshop integrates science and language arts.
This Engaging Science teacher workshop lasts approximately 90 minutes and teachers will leave with interesting ideas and hands-on activities to implement into the classroom. Each participant will receive a free copy of the Wild Wetlands Playbook that is full of activities demonstrated in the workshop, along with additional activities, blackline masters and comprehensive explanations.
