Aquatic Species at Risk
Education Kit

The Aquatic Species at Risk Education Kit was developed by DFO and distributed to teachers in grades 4, 5 and 6 in Newfoundland and Labrador. This kit includes a teacher guide and student activity sheets for dynamic, fun, relevant lessons about aquatic species at risk.  There are four different units (blue whales, wolffish, leatherback turtles and beluga whales), each with curriculum-related outcomes.

Teachers can request additional copies of the kit by email at: Info@dfo-mpo.gc.ca
