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: "The Living Kingdoms" introduces students to the concept that all living things can be grouped, or classified, based on various shared, structural characteristics. Students receive hands-on contact with live amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals along with representative plants and fungi. Brochure Excerpt: "Biologists organize all living things into five groups called kingdoms. Three of these kingdoms are comprised of organisms having more than one cell and are referred to as multicellular. The kingdoms of multicellular organisms are Animal, Plant, and Fungi. This program explores the differences and similarities between these groups, putting the emphasis on the Animal Kingdom". Please feel free to contact Science Alive for more information about how "The Living Kingdoms" can enhance your life science curricula. |
