Description

Number of Learners in Class: 3 - 8
Length of Class: 50 minutes
Type of Class: One-time class

Course Description:
The rivers are beautiful, and the lakes are calm and essential for us and the natural cycles. 

  • Freshwater is a valuable resource for us! 
  • Rivers play an essential role in the nutrient cycle. 
  • Living organisms are numerous and require a niche! 
  • Rivers and lakes provide unique habitats! 
  • Multiple types of organisms can be found in these ecosystems. 

There are no prerequisites for this course - only scientific spirit and interest are required. The course will involve short 10-minute interactive lectures. Learners will then dive into a discussion exploring the learner's perceptions around the topics before and after the explanation, allowing us to develop the more nuanced facets further. The educator will use a coaching approach to present the ideas using concrete examples, activities, demonstrations, and discussions.

External Resources:
I will be using Google Slide. In addition, for short practical works, I will be using Jam board and Coggle.

Teacher Qualifications - Marie-Ève Denis Bordeleau:
I have been attracted to the environment, wildlife, and teaching others all my life. In addition, I have a passion for equestrian sports, which I have taught for more than 6 years, practically and theoretically, to children from 6 years to adults in their fifties, all while completing my studies. My interest in education led me to complete a year of studies in psychology. Overshadowed by my interest in the environment, I changed my field of study to the environment and obtained a bachelor's degree in ecology and environment. I gained field experience through various research opportunities, notably on the biotic impact of white-tailed deer on the regeneration of the Eardley Escarpment. My professional experience has taken me into land management and biology, where I have worked on everything from environmental rights to microbiology. I have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge in this field and my other areas of expertise. By combining my two passions, I could talk about the environment and its protection while getting young people more informed.
