Animals & Winter

Ice Safety: Alberta Parks does not monitor ice conditions; learn how to assess them for yourself.

    Available to Learning Naturally Program Schools ONLY. 

    Students use an exploratory approach to discover that animals have unique adaptations which enable them to meet their basic needs during winter.

    Students will:

    • Search for the signs and evidence of animals eating, their movement and their shelter
    • Investigate insect galls and discover unique adaptations to survive the winter
    • Observe the natural world with magnifying glasses
    • Listen for different sounds, noting the direction and the proximity of the sound, then draw those sounds
    • Compare and contrast the textures of natural objects to provided samples
    • Identify colours in nature using a “colour palette”
