Welcome to Ocean Wise! We are an international conservation organization and registered charity, dedicated to increasing global understanding, wonder and appreciation for our oceans. Students will explore life in the Arctic with an Ocean Wise expert educator through pictures, video clips, artifacts, active play and a drawing activity! Participants can learn from and with each other in a question and answer session at the end of the program. Our educators use live inquiry-based discussion to help participants utilize their creativity and critical thinking to explore the ocean and impacts from human actions. Core competencies in critical thinking, communication, creative thinking, and responsibility may be achieved through the Virtual Aquaclass Program.
Learning Goals
Humans and the environment are intricately connected and all of our influences have impacts on each other and other humans and environments around the world.
Arctic animals have unique adaptations that have enabled them to thrive in such an extreme environment.
The survival of many Arctic animals is currently threatened because of changing conditions that these animals are not able to adapt quickly enough to survive.
Our current level of knowledge and understanding of Arctic ecosystems would not be possible without First Peoples perspectives and knowledge of life in the Arctic.
