Polar Bears and Ecotourism Research Lesson Series
PBI believes busy teachers need all the help they can get. That’s why we’re happy to provide access to free lessons created by teachers and zoo educators on a range of topics that support national literacy standards and learning outcomes for specific school districts.
Polar Bears and Ecotourism Research Unit is a comprehensive lesson series that incorporates science, social studies and mathematics standards by using current polar bear research as an integrating context for learning.
In this investigation, students use the data collected from an actual research project to make a decision regarding ecotourism policies for the town of Churchill, Manitoba, Canada, The Polar Bear Capital of the World.
