Where can you find the outdoors, indoors?
With Green Calgary’s Green Kids Program!
Studies have shown that students learn better when they are stimulated by nature, both by learning outdoors and by including outdoor elements in the classroom. All of Green Calgary’s Green Kids programs bring nature to students’ fingertips with hands-on activities that encourage curiosity and are designed to link in with both the old and the new curriculum.
New for this school year, Green Calgary is introducing edu-kits for teachers, allowing them to extend their lessons beyond our visit.
Here are some of Green Calgary’s most popular programs!
- Waste in Our World; explore how a landfill works by building your own!
- Worms Love Leftovers; meet our red wiggler friends and learn how worms breakdown our waste.
- YYC’s Citizen Scientist; discover wildlife in your own backyard and help actual scientific discovery with this fun outdoor program delivered in two parts (in partnership with CPAWS).
