Riparian Zones
Students use this sheet to help them focus on the different transitions within a riparian zone. They draw their observations on a diagram, which really helps students understand how rich this special habitat is.
Riparian Zones2
A bingo-type card with pond creatures instead of numbers. Adaptable.

McQueen Lake Day Centre

Introduction

The Focus of the McQueen Lake Day-Centre

  • The McQueen Lake day-centre offers many opportunities to study and explore aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, pioneers, language arts, as well as the fine arts, in a beautiful and engaging natural environment.

Hints for Success

  • As there are resources already developed and available, please feel free to contact the McQueen Lake Resource Teacher for assistance preparing materials.
  • Take advantage of high school leaders as they can be of great assistance when you want to divide your group into smaller and more manageable pods.
  • And finally, the more informed your parents are, the smoother things will go.
