After the Storm 2060s-2071
The wildfires of the mid 2030s and early 2040s that devastated most of the northern Algonquin forests had shocked Canadians to their very core. Something so special, something so iconic...something that we so carelessly allowed to be destroyed by human-driven climate change. Except, the forest wasn't destroyed. It was damaged and it was hurt and its populations of trees and birds and animals and the like had been greatly reduced. But nature is resilient, and thanks to the help of some prescient humans, nature had managed to stage a comeback in the northern Algonquin forests. While the fires were truly cataclysmic, the self-preservation instincts of the animals coupled with the herculean efforts of scientists, researchers and conservationists had ensured that there would be a future for the forests, animal species and the broader biosphere of the Algonquin National Park.

The Survival Games
Linking science and science fiction to better understand the realities of biomes, fitness, and climate change In a world with an ever-changing climate that causes dozens of extinctions a day (Center for Biological Diversity n.d.), it is more crucial than ever to explore the ways in which ecosystem changes can affect organisms' fitness. Students engaged in project-based learning, especially students in urban schools, have been shown to achieve higher scores in both science content and practice skills (Geier et al. 2008). [...]facilitate a student discussion on the research they just completed, and lead into another mini lesson, teaching the concept of biological fitness. Present climate change scenarios on the board along with traits that organisms could have that would either help or hurt (e.g., if the scenario was a forest fire, having wings would help animals escape, whereas living in trees would hurt an animal's chance of survival). Because students will have chosen traits from organisms found in their biomes, each group will be affected by these climate change scenarios differently.

The ranger
\"In this memorable and beautifully illustrated story, a ranger comes across a fox caught in a trap. The ranger frees the fox and promises only to tend to its wounds. The fox recovers and remains curiously close to the ranger, and when unexpected twists occur, the fox ends up being the helper. The ranger asks the fox, 'Does this make us even?' and almost immediately feels regret--keeping score has no place in friendship. And so the two continue their journey together. In this second book in the Crow Stories trilogy, Nancy Vo explores themes of friendship and how meaningful bonds form when we can give and receive openly\"--Provided by publisher.
