Making Waves! Protecting Ontario's Aquatic Habitats

Elementary, Middle

Description

A series of sequential lessons designed to help students and teachers understand the impacts of invasive species on habitats and ecosystems, and provide tools and strategies to help stop the spread of invasive species.

Students will:

  • create a song to describe how humans can protect aquatic habitats.

  • play games that teach students to ask questions about animals and their adaptations, as well as food chains and the fight for survival.
  • emulate the transfer of food energy in a lake habitat through simulation and play.
  • take action to demonstrate others about the danger of releasing aquarium species into lakes and rivers.
  • create their own ultimate invasive species.
