Climates and seasons (British Columbia)
Grab your fork!
Did you know that in the Amazon forest, the trees form such a dense covering that clouds form below the leaves! Young minds will take a trip around the world to learn about the different types of climate on our planet Earth and their effects on the duration of seasons and vegetation. They will gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between vegetation and climate by an awakening of their senses of touch, smell and above all, taste, when they visit our six stations composed of different types of seeds and extracts from countries in different climatic zones. A true feast for their young taste buds!
For 30 more minutes:
Extend the fun with two additional stations! Your climate scientists will also learn about the origin of climates and seasons from our two LEGO mini-figures, Raoul and Cecile, located on each side of the globe.

- Understand that seasons are linked to the revolution and tilting of the Earth.
