Designed for students in grades five to eight, this kit features an interdisciplinary approach. Built around the six videos in the series, activities are presented in a variety of subject areas. Activities and suggestions have been included to help you adapt to the appropriate needs of your students. Teaching and Learning Learning requires the active participation of the learner and is both an individual and a social process. It has been our aim to provide activities and resources with this in mind.
People learn in a variety of ways and at different rates.
Learning about a subject such as forestry means finding out all you can on the subject and then coming to your own conclusions about such things as forest management, forest use and environmental considerations. It is our sincere desire that you will find the resources which have been developed to be helpful and fun.
