The live lesson is the second in their ‘Happy by Nature’ series and will take place from 2pm to 2.45pm.

Happy By Nature is WWF-UKs schools programme, created especially for primary-aged children. The lesson is designed for Key Stage 2 / Second Level students, but open for learners of all stages.

The lesson will explore what it means to go on a polar expedition and show the transport and equipment needed to work in the extreme polar landscape. Our scientists working in our aquarium will be introducing Antarctic species that live in the icy waters and explain how they are helping us find out more about the polar regions.
