Third-Eighth Grade

Our Goal:

​
To incorporate living organisms into an educational, hands-on learning situation.

To stimulate the students' interest in science and to encourage them to investigate the world using scientific discipline.

To foster an appreciation for the diversity of the biological world.

To provide the teacher with a complete science unit and/or to reinforce a classroom's existing studies.

 Program Purpose:

 "Environmental Adaptations" explores the structure, form, and habits of animals and their relationship to factors within the animal's respective environment. Students observe a wide variety of animal adaptations as they experience hands-on amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.

Brochure Excerpt:

"For an organism to survive within it's environment it must rely on a myriad of structural and behavioral features called adaptations; each rigorously selected for over countless generations. Extinction is the result when a species fails to adapt to a changing environment. This program examines the adaptive features of animals, their role in the animal's survival and how the environment impacts adaptation".
