Grade 8   Freshwater Ecosystems Students build a model of a watershed. What happens when there is a toxic waste spill? How far will it spread? Which parts of the watershed are affected? Try it and see! Measure the changes in nitrates/nitrites, dissolved oxygen, pH and turbidity when water becomes contaminated. Curricula Connections: Unit E: Freshwater and Saltwater Systems

Grade 9   Biodiversity Investigate the factors that influence biodiversity. Explore the adaptations of animals and plants to their environment and how these adaptations are passed on. Invasive species and climate are changing the environment far faster than in the past: can living things adapt to rapid change? Curricula Connections: Unit A: Biological Diversity

(Programs developed with the generous support of The Calgary Foundation)
