Habitat in the Balance

Habitat in the Balance is an online educational resource for teaching about socio-scientific issues and process skills. This interactive, decision-making program examines sustainable development issues in four topic areas – water, land, inhabitants, and air. Habitat in the Balance is a secondary school program that fits with learning outcomes in grades 7 to12 science, social studies, geography, and environmental studies. Over the next three years, twelve modules will be developed in the first three topic areas. The first two modules incorporate ‘stories’ about water allocation and contaminants in waterways. The program is available at www.seedshabitat.ca.
