Welcome, Teachers!
|
Included in this website are a variety of curriculum-focused materials designed to reinforce environmental academic standards and encourage students to develop problem-solving abilities, critical thinking skills, and self-reflection techniques.
Before getting started, be sure to familiarize yourself with the organization and format of these activities by reading the teacher prep guide provided (right). Then, explore through this website to find activities to help support student engagement and learning outcomes. Full lesson plan units with pre- and post-activities are included across five different environmental topics. Each unit is intended to introduce students to content, increase inquiry-based learning, and evoke curiosity, investigation, and understanding of core science standards. Additional resources, such as access to more videos, supplemental activities, and opportunities to connect to Zoo experts, are also available. If you would prefer to browse these documents through Google instead of individually on this website, all materials can be viewed here. If you are interested in utilizing materials this way, be sure to click "File" then "Make a copy" in order to reproduce documents into your personal files. |
