How can a tree change climate change? What’s so special about an axolotl? What can we do?

This interactive online program explores some of the ways the world is changing and how we can influence these changes to make our world a healthier, more sustainable place for us and other living things.

Learners explore a variety of local and global changes, animal adaptations, habitats, and ecosystems and reflect on the diversity of life. Through exciting science demonstrations, participants will better understand climate change and its impacts.

Students then adventure through Science World on a virtual field trip and investigate close-up some of the amazing living organisms currently on exhibition investigating their basic needs and adaptations to assess the impact environmental changes have on their survival.

The class will collectively investigate how they can help protect animals from climate change together and pledge to take individual and collective action.

Note: Students are required to have the listed SFACW Worksheet printed for the session.

Curriculum Links

  • Living things have features and behaviours that help them survive in their environment.
  • Multicellular organisms have organ systems that enable them to survive and interact within their environment.
  • Living things are diverse, can be grouped, and interact in their ecosystems.
  • All living things sense and respond to their environment.
  • Observable patterns and cycles occur in the local sky and landscape.
  • Water is essential to all living things, and it cycles through the environment.
  • The motions of Earth and the moon cause observable patterns that affect living and non-living systems.
  • Healthy communities recognize and respect the diversity of individuals and care for the local environment.
  • We shape the local environment, and the local environment shapes who we are and how we live.
  • Local actions have global consequences, and global actions have local consequences. Individuals have rights and responsibilities as global citizens.

This program incorporates many core competencies and curriculum links across biology, earth/space and social studies.
