What will be done with my students

We would love to make our field trip a valuable learning opportunity by participating in a Field Trip Experience! Led by experienced Zoo educators, these programs include interactive STEAM and inquiry-based lessons, animal experiences, and mini treks in the Zoo. Each program supports education standards, and enforces those you are already teaching in your classroom. 

 

Benefits to my students

Like scientists, students will learn how to identify other features such as leaf shapes and patterns, colors, x-rays, teeth, fur, feathers, and scales, oh my! Explore and identify the basic needs of all living things. Practice exploration and sharpen your inquiry skills by sorting through clues and raising questions amongst your peers to solve wildlife mysteries. Compare and contrast living things as they relate to one another and to humans. Analyze data and draw conclusions based on evidence and identify the unique characteristics of living things.
 

 

Budget Narrative

Each educational class is $77. To accommodate all students we would need 4 separate classes.
