Creating Science-Standards-Based Curriculums for Zoos
Turn your zoo into a science classroom!
Teachers in todays educational environment are being held more accountable to state teaching standards and testing than ever. Annual state testing in reading, writing, and mathematics determine school funding, and are therefore top tier priorities to teachers.
Unfortunately, science is often left as a second tier priority. Teachers simply do not have the time to dedicate to lesson planning for the subject in general, much less figuring out how visiting the local zoo fits into it all!
NexGen Wildlife Education has created a series of downloadable PDFs lesson plans and worksheets knowing that their local zoo’s presentation would fill in the gaps with real-(wild)life examples! Students use this amazing learning experience to create impactful assessments that demonstrate their understanding of their actual life and earth science standards. Imagine… a field trip and an actual science grade all in one!
