What could be easier!
Many schools already know how easy and economical it is to have special presentations come to them. Flexible and self contained, our programs can be held in a classroom, assembly or at an outdoor education site.
Catoctin Wildlife Preserve and Zoo's educators present safe, live animals and a variety of artifacts to learning groups of all sorts. An obvious choice for science classes, animal programs can also add a new dimension to cultural arts, social studies, history and geography lessons.
We'll bring the animals, artifacts, maps, props and knowledge to you, teaching for 45-55 minutes on a subject you choose. |
Why have a live animal program?
Fun Our education staff specializes in presenting the animals and the information in a humorous and informative way. The shows are packed with a balance of scientific and silly facts.
Involved Your group is encouraged to touch the animals and ask questions about them. Studies confirm that the best learning is achieved through active involvement.
Real No book or video can ever replace the real thing. Our animal programs literally make the subject matter come alive.
Cost Effective The program costs are easily shared between classes and grades. With no busing or extra meal expenses, most groups are bringing our programs into the schools for between $3 and $4 per student.
