Micro to Macro Chain

Description

Have you ever given any thought to the fact that many invisible organisms swim alongside you when you swim in a lake or river? Quebec’s freshwater ecosystems are beautiful and fascinating. Through images and videos taken by a diver-biologist, your students will discover the intriguing world of food chains. From large loons and snapping turtles, to tiny daphnia, protozoa and bacteria: all of these organisms are part of complex food webs and each species has an impact on the others and on water quality.

Schedule and Duration

This activity takes place every day from Monday to Friday. The activity is designed to be experienced entirely remotely! You don’t need to go anywhere, the C.I.EAU comes to you virtually. The activity lasts 1 hour.
