• A Helping Hand for the Black Bear

  Understanding the ecology of the black bear so as to find solutions to enhance its protection in La Mauricie National Park – now there’s a real mission for our budding biologists! Real scientific data, charts, tables, maps and interactive activities are all used to explore the concepts of population, habitat, diet and adaptation. Students make the most of their knowledge to analyze data, fill their Science Log and find solutions.
