We've done a lot of active learning as part of our Science learning this term. Yesterday, we took a whole-day trip to the Surrey Nature Centre. We took a walk to Green Timbers Lake, where our guide Chris showed us how to take a water sample and check for invertebrates that can help indicate the quality of the water. We headed back on the trails to the Nature Centre. Along the way, we learned about bio indicators and how they can help us understand the health of an ecosystem. Below are 3 examples of bio indicators that we discussed. After lunch, we learned about the history of Green Timbers Park and the importance of preserving natural resources for future generations. We also went on a native and invasive species walk where we learned how introduced plants like bamboo and English Ivy can cause problems for our ecosystems in British Columbia.
