Original post
I just checked out the first video lesson the SRA (Sackville Rivers Association) has posted in its new online Fish Friend Series series, launched because of limitations on their hands-on programs in Covid times. It is incredibly well done.
The lessons are geared for elementary school children, but I still enjoyed and learned from this first video – especially about First Nations’ Perspectives.
In the first video (LESSON 1: INTRODUCTION)
- Students are introduced to the SRA and the work they do
- Students are introduced to the concepts of “Watershed” and “Habitat”
- Students are introduced to scientific and traditional (Mi’kmaq) approaches to ecological knowledge
