It may be of interest to you to register your students for a FREE videoconference offered by La Biosphere in Quebec which can be delivered in French. Below is information about this program. If you have any new VC content providers that offer programming in French you wish to share, please feel free to do so!
Environment Canada's Biosphère is a premier venue for information, education and awareness on the major environmental issues related to water, air, climate change, sustainable development and responsible consumption. As an environment museum, located in Montreal (QC), the Biosphère offers exhibitions and activities dedicated to youth and adults as well. As a national centre of expertise in environmental education and engagement, it also develops products and activities with partners across Canada. Participate in A Change in the Air or A Breath of Clean Air, two FREE activities offered by Environment Canada's Biosphère. These are available in English or French! The general objective of these activities are to make students more aware and proactive concerning their environment, while gathering the three levels of learning: cognitive, sensory, and emotional. Every presentation is made by a professional educator with a science degree in biology, meteorology or environment. The activities include an in-class scientific experiment and are completed by individual or collective post-visit activities. Each presentation lasts 60 minutes and is offered to junior high and high school students.(12 to 18 years old).

This educational activity fosters discussion about the very latest scientific information on air quality and climate change, their impacts on the environment and what we can do about it. It includes several visual simulations and provides an opportunity for exchanges between students and an expert facilitator.
Nitrogen, oxygen . . . What is the air made of? What about the atmosphere? This educational activity will help young people understand smog and acid rain and what causes them, both human activities and meteorological factors. In a user-friendly atmosphere, participants will discuss solutions with the expert facilitator as well as formulate concrete actions they can take to limit those phenomena.
