Travelling on snowshoes, students will be engaged in a variety of games and activities fostering their winter detective skills. Students will be encouraged to observe, find, identify and interpret animal signs including tracks and to infer the animal’s behaviour. Students will also gain an understanding of humans as animals and recognize the variety of human signs in our world. Snow shoes are NOT provided for this program. This field based program supports Topic D: Evidence & Investigation from the grade 6 Alberta Elementary Science curriculum.
