In Science we have been learning to

*Appreciate that environments are constantly changing

*Identify what you can do to help reduce the impact humans have on a habitat

*Know what you can do to care for a habitat

Environments are always changing. This is a normal and important part of our Earth. Some changes happen naturally, like when a volcano erupts or when there is an earthquake.

Other changes happen because of what people do, like cutting down trees or making the air and water dirty.

Natural Changes

Some natural changes can be good and some can be bad. For example, a wildfire can burn away dead plants and help new ones grow. But it can also hurt animals that live there and make the air dirty.

An earthquake can make new places for animals to live, but it can also break their homes and harm them.

Toucans did their own research to see if humans had affected the environment around our school. Unfortunatly we did find some litter! Let’s hope we can work together to protect our environment!
