Species at Risk Online Resources -- Parks Canada
Good morning everyone,
Hope all is well at your site/park! Just a quick note to let you know that we now have an awesome tool for Science teachers teaching Species at Risk. You will find below the links to 2 ppt presentations that were created by Joanne Tuckwell, our Species at Risk coordinator from the WNSC. The first presentation is geared to grades 4 to 6 and the second presentation is for grades 7 to 9 ( for SK,MB, AB). Joanne has done a fantastic job with these presentations, with great images and content related to the science curriculum in the 3 prairie provinces. Please have a look at these resources when you have a minute, and remember to share them with your teachers!
Here are the links to the 2 ppt presentations:
