About the workshop
How do animals manage to get through the harsh winter months? Why does the squirrel make reserves? How does the snake manage to spend the winter in hibernation? Where do the geese go? And much more!
Take part in a grand investigation to discover how urban animals adapt to the cold season. Get ready to have fun and make fascinating discoveries!
This workshop is adapted to the Science and Technology curriculum.
Atelier content:
- An activity combining pedagogy and outdoor education for a learning experience outside, right in your schoolyard!
