This program explores Canada’s North with food as an overarching theme.  During the program, we will explore feeding strategies used by animals living on land and in the ocean as well as some aspects of life for people living in Canada’s North. Our stations include looking at animals that are scavengers, hunters, filter feeders and animals that use tools.  In addition, we will bring a few of our most hardy intertidal animals from BC’s coast (the same types of animals live in the Arctic):  sea stars, large crab, sea urchin and sea anemone.  Students have the opportunity to touch our most hardy live animals and all of our artifacts.

At the end of our program, we gather around the map for a brief conclusion and use the map to illustrate what is happening to ice in the Arctic and what impacts changes might have on the animals we have been learning about.  Finally, we will brainstorm with students to discuss any changes we can make in our daily lives that could influence animals and people living in Canada’s North.
