Wildlife Discovery Days
Wildlife Discovery Days is a great way to begin your school year. This year the focus is on animal Olympians. Your students will have the opportunity to find out which animal is the tallest, the fastest, the longest jumper, and more. In addition to learning about animal Olympians, your students will practice Inquiry skills and enjoy live animal shows as part of this event.
Written activities will encourage your students' interest in science before, during and after your Zoo adventure.
