Grades 1-3

How can we make sure that we will always have fish in our rivers, lakes, streams and ponds? In this game, participants learn about some of the factors that affect their local fish populations and solutions to help stabilize the populations.

In this workshop, participants will learn about the effect that landfills have on the environment and how landfills contribute to climate change.

Students learn about animals in water, human impacts, and are given materials to attempt to clean up a cooking oil spill.

Dive into plate tectonics and learn how to build a structure that can withstand multiple levels of earthquakes!

This is a fun, interactive activity to help participants understand the process of cross-pollination! This activity includes optional extensions that explore the impact of climate change on bees.

This is a fun, simple activity to help students understand how plants grow in a greenhouse.

Learn about Canadian animals and the sounds they make.

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.

This workshop consists of two parts: a reading of the "Polar Bear, Why is Your World Melting?" by Robert E. Wells followed by a hands-on activity. Using some very ordinary items at home, we're going to learn about the greenhouse effect.

This workshop consists of two parts: a reading of the "An Earth Bot’s Guide to Plastic Pollution" by Russel Ayto followed by the hands-on activity. Using some very ordinary items at home, we're going to learn about the pollution we can and can’t see.

This workshop consists of two parts: a reading of the "The Last Tree" by Maria Quintana Silva and Silvia Alvarez followed by the hands-on activity. Using some very ordinary items at home, we're going to learn how plants are important in the fight against climate change as they help absorb pollution from the environment to keep it safe and clean.

This workshop consists of two parts: a reading of the "When the Earth Shook" by Lisa Lucas followed by a hands-on activity called Trouble-to-Toys. Using some very ordinary items at home, we're going to learn about how they can create a toy out of recycled items.

In this workshop, students will explore what makes up a healthy forest, and how tree and soil health is important for sustaining ecosystems. Students will consider how human actions affect forests, and how forests are important in combatting climate change. Discussions will focus on positive actionable steps students can take to protect plant and soil health in their communities.

Extreme weather occurs in many wild ways, which is affected by climate change! This workshop explores these implications.

Students build a beaver dam and lodge to understand what stable structures are and then they test their structure by placing a load on it - something heavy like a brick - and see if the force will make the structure collapse.
