The Monarch<\/strong> Butterfly<\/h1><\/div>

The monarch butterfly is now considered an endangered species, mainly due to habitat loss, the decline of host plants such as milkweed, and unfavorable climatic conditions. That’s why it’s essential to raise awareness and educate younger generations about its situation. Our monarch workshop covers a range of scientific concepts, including insect pollinators, plants, life stages, migration, reproduction, feeding, threats to the species, and preservation initiatives. Students will receive an educational booklet and milkweed seeds to plant in their gardens, to help protect and grow this plant essential to the monarch’s survival.

Animals’ winter<\/strong> adaptations<\/span><\/h1><\/div>
<\/p>\n

This workshop presents the winter adaptations of Quebec animals and the different strategies they use to survive winter: migration, hibernation and maintaining activity through physical and behavioral adaptations. Through an interactive presentation adapted to the different primary school learning cycles, students discover how species found in Quebec adapt to the cold and snow. Learning is then consolidated through hands-on, participatory activities that allow students to concretely explore the concepts they have learned. <\/p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":23329,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-23981","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.parcomega.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.parcomega.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.parcomega.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.parcomega.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.parcomega.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23981"}],"version-history":[{"count":29,"href":"https:\/\/www.parcomega.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23981\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30357,"href":"https:\/\/www.parcomega.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23981\/revisions\/30357"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.parcomega.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.parcomega.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
