A Grade 4 class in the Rainbow District School Board’s virtual elementary school is one of seven from around the world selected to participate in an “Exploring By The Seat Of Your Pants” live stream.
Teacher Robert Dunn says students will link live with Dr. Jane Goodall today at noon.
He adds they are currently studying life systems in science, including biomes, habitats, and animals, and the impact of humans on each and hopes they will be inspired and empowered to make their community and the world a better place.
Dr. Goodall has dedicated 60 years of ground-breaking work, showcasing the urgent need to protect chimpanzees from extinction, and redefining species conservation to include the needs of local people and the environment.
The event will be posted on the “Exploring By The Seat Of Your Pants” YouTube Channel at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQkEzcH9f_9OylEdmALiWg
While hundreds can join the live stream, only a few classes are selected to participate live, making the experience an exciting learning opportunity for students.
Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants is a not-for-profit organization that brings science, exploration, adventure, and conservation into classrooms through virtual speakers and field trips with leading experts across the globe.
