Planet Earth, our home sweet home! From deep blue seas to towering trees, night skies and dragonflies, Earth has a LOT to offer! But what makes Earth livable? And how do we keep it that way? In this program, students will discover to what extent Earth’s systems sustain life by exploring natural ecosystems and analyzing how the sun interacts with its surroundings. Through fire building, students will discover how natural resources are central to human well-being. To conclude the full-day program, students will reflect on the role they play in conserving Earth’s systems and how small changes can have a BIG impact.   

Students will:

• Explore how all living things and non-living things are connected by Earth’s systems
• Discover how Earth’s characteristics support a variety of organisms
• Identify local plants and animals through experiential learning
• Practice fire-building and develop further understanding of natural resources and their role in our lives
• Reflect on how human activity impacts Earth’s systems and conservation involves personal and community action
