The Salmon Shadow Food Chain Tower Activity
Students will conduct a simulation to demonstrate control of several variables in the ecosystem, where different scenarios will be used to demonstrate the positive and negative effects humans have on local ecosystems.
Salmon Sustainability
Students will learn about the habitat and lifecycle of Pacific salmon, the effects of climate change on salmon populations and the importance of sustainable fishing practices.
H2WOAH Clouds - Climate Change Extensions
Youth explore the water cycle by creating their own rain clouds. In the optional extensions, youth will learn how climate change affects the water cycle and discuss ways to lower their impact on the environment.
Storytime - The Greenhouse Effect
This workshop consists of two parts: a reading of the "Polar Bear, Why is Your World Melting?" by Robert E. Wells followed by the activity The Greenhouse Effect. Using some very ordinary items, participants are going to create a greenhouse and observe the greenhouse effect.
Storytime - Pollution We Can and Can't See
This workshop consists of two parts: a reading of the "An Earth Bot’s Guide to Plastic Pollution" by Russel Ayto followed by the activity Pollution We Can and Can't See. Using some very ordinary items at home, we're going to learn about ocean pollution and how it can contribute to climate change.
Storytime - Pollution in Plants
This workshop consists of two parts: a reading of the "The Last Tree" by Maria Quintana Silva and Silvia Alvarez followed by the activity Pollution in Plants. In this activity, participants will learn how plants absorb pollution from the environment to keep it safe and clean. They will discover why plants are important in the fight against climate change.
