Watch educators Briante and Sarah of the Iowa City Science Booster Club demonstrate EcoStax, a game created through the National Center for Science Education. Their video will be made available on August 3 at 2PM on calendar.icpl.org and on facebook.com/icpubliclibrary. Registrants will receive an EcoStax kit to pick up between July 26-August 2. (Limit of one kit per family, please).
Climate change affects ecosystems in multiple ways. EcoStax helps illustrate how energy flows through an ecosystem and the ways in which climate change can affect energy sources, creating a domino effect. While playing the EcoStax game, players simulate changes to one part of an ecosystem which allows them to develop systems-level thinking about the broader impacts of climate change.
Try-It-Out Tuesday programs are for school-age children. They are a great opportunity to give something new a try!
