These learning activities address the impacts of climate
change on our natural world and supplement the lessons
in this year's National Wildlife Week educational kit:
Strangers
in Their Own Land explores the challenges facing
fishers, farmers, First Nations, and other peoples whose
close relationship with nature gives them a deeper understanding
of, and vulnerability to, climatic cycles and events.
Roaming
Biomes is a remote-sensing exercise in which
students conduct research on the use of earth-observation
satellites to measure the impacts of climate change
on an ecological area.
CO2 Calculator
enables students to assess their personal contributions
to climate change.
Facts
and Falsehoods is a media-monitoring activity
in which students develop criteria for evaluating the
quality, balance, and fairness of information designed
to represent a point of view about climate change.
Animal
Trackers allows students to use space technology
to monitor migratory species, map their movements, and
gather data about their habitats and the climatic conditions
they face.
