Discovery Activity: Mount Royal Through the Seasons
How does the forest adapt to the changing seasons? Imagining themselves as photographers and equipped with cardboard cameras, students explore Mount Royal and "take pictures" of what they find interesting.
How does the forest adapt to the changing seasons? Imagining themselves as photographers and equipped with cardboard cameras, students explore Mount Royal and take make-believe pictures of what they find interesting. Through scientists’ eyes, they learn to identify the main characteristics of the unfolding season and the ways in which nature prepares for it. Contact with trees, animals and other elements of the natural environment is encouraged through games and sensory activities.
