Ecosystems

      Ecosystems are all around us in nature, so let’s explore them together. In this program students will be investigating local ecosystems and learning about how ecosystems work. Through demos, games, discussion, investigation and exploration, topics explored will include: the living and non-living parts of an ecosystem, what happens when changes occur in an ecosystem, how to measure and compare qualities in different ecosystems, animal and plant diversity, managing natural areas and how to help our local ecosystems and more.
