We are but a piece of the puzzle. Humans are one part of the vast, interconnected, and interdependent world of nature. Explore some important and fascinating relationships through specimens, objects, and stories with a Museum Educator or Indigenous Museum Educator in this lesson. Themes may include the interdependence of all living things; the structures and adaptations in response to various environments; and the various relationships that humans have developed with the natural world around us, both past and present.
Learning goals:
How have relationships with the environment affected the development of communities in the past?
How have communities impacted the surrounding (local, national, international) environments?
How are environmental issues being tackled nationally (Gr. 5) and internationally (Gr. 6)?
