Science Nature Explorers: Hybrid

In this two-part virtual and in-person program, students will observe, record and explore the natural habitat around them. Starting with a virtual session, students will be introduced to The Nature Exchange process and will continue this exploration with provided in-class activities.

Then, when your class visits the Science Centre, students will get the chance to apply their skills in Coronation Park. The program wraps-up with students trading their knowledge for a Nature Exchange artifact.

Students will have one virtual session first followed by an in-person session at the TELUS World of Science - Edmonton.

THIS PROGRAM CONSISTS OF:

• One 30 minute virtual session introduction to the program
• Optional classroom activities that are self-led
• One 60 minute in-person session* at TELUS World of Science - Edmonton for outdoor activities 

*NOTE: In-person session will be outdoors. Students, teachers, and volunteers will need to dress accordingly.

This program will be tailored to meet your grade-specific needs.
