Agenda
Enjoy a Private Educational Program, Science of Spirit Bears – 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM
Explore the world of the mysterious Spirit Bears – the rarest bear on Earth! Discover the science behind the Spirit Bears’ unique appearance and learn how they thrive in extraordinary ecosystem of the temperate rain forest. Using hands on activities, students will examine DNA to learn how genetic traits are inherited and uncover how those traits help organisms adapt to their environment.

Journey to a land of grizzlies, coastal wolves, sea otters and the all-white spirit bear — the rarest bear on earth — in the film Great Bear Rainforest. Hidden from the outside world, the Great Bear Rainforest is one of the wildest places left on earth. Found on Canada’s remote Pacific coast, it is the last intact temperate rainforest in the world—a place protected by the region’s indigenous people for millennia.
