\"\"<\/a>On Wednesday, we had a visit from Sea Dome.\u00a0 Sea Dome <\/span>\u00a0is a travelling national climate education program, fully funded by<\/span> the Government of Canada. The purpose of the Sea Dome program and the Ocean Wise teachers is to educate children about how<\/span> climate change is affecting the ocean and the animals that live there<\/span>.\u00a0 The program features marine artifacts and hands-on interactive activities designed to encourage passion and care of the oceans.<\/span> Here are some of the wonderful things that we got to experience!<\/span><\/p>\n

Station 1: The children sat around an Arctic floor map and talked about some of the animals that live in the Arctic, including foxes, seals and polar bears<\/span>. They learned about how the ice is melting due to the earth’s rising temperatures. The children liked being able to feel the fur and see a replica of a polar bears skull.<\/span><\/p>\n
