Chapter Five

Here’s How

Part One

TRUST THE PROCESS - To process or not to process, that is the question (we address in the story below).

Read Story Instead

Prefer reading instead? Here's the text version of your lesson.

Questions & Activities

Reflect on your lesson with short activities, or by exploring referenced articles, featured podcasts, term definitions, and more!

Featured Hot Takes

The process is more important than the outcome. Trust the process. We hear these sayings all the time. But are they accurate? We asked two leaders with very different perspectives to share their process – their story.  

Hal Kvisle is a Canadian business icon who has helped lead numerous corporations, including a run as CEO of what is now known as TC Energy.

Harvey Locke is a globally recognized leader on biodiversity, having founded the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative and the Nature Needs Half movement.

We’re featuring these podcasts across all five Nature Labs subjects. You might not like art, or science, or English, or social studies, but they are all related and by listening to this podcast, hopefully you’ll better understand why.

Reflection

Hal Kvisle

  • What did you think of Hal's story and the processes he's used to advance ideas?
  • Do you think Hal's vision for balancing people and nature is the right one?
  • Has Hal given you a better insight into how you can work with business leaders - major corporations - to balance people and nature?
  • Were you surprised by his comments? Did he change your perspective or reaffirm what you already believed?
  • What can you learn from Hal that would help your policy proposal have a better chance of success?

Harvey Locke

  • What did you think of Harvey's story and the processes he's used to advance ideas?
  • Do you think Harvey's vision for balancing people and nature is the right one?
  • Has Harvey given you a better insight into how environmental movements - advocates - build and run campaigns?
  • Were you surprised by his comments? Did he change your perspective or reaffirm what you already believed?
  • What can you learn from Harvey that would help your policy proposal have a better chance of success?

Did this story leave you with a question? 

The best questions will be answered by Environment and Climate Change Canada’s scientists on video just for you! Make sure you include your name and school.

Part Two

THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES WILL HELP YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS YOU NEED TO LEARN IN THIS CLASS. YOUR TEACHER WILL SELECT WHICH ACTIVITIES YOU NEED TO COMPLETE BELOW.

Collaboration is Key

Collaboration can help! Work with others to create a plan to promote your research and reach the right audience.

Two-Eyed Seeing

Better understand traditional knowledge and how different methods of scientific inquiry can complement each other.

Success vs Failure

Learn from those who came before you by analyzing a science study that worked and one that very much didn't.

Tariffs

Canada: We have a problem. What are tariffs and what the heck do they have to do with this course?

Process Planning

You have your better question, now how will you find the better answer? It's time to create a plan. * Recommended
