In this science worksheet, students read about how 11 different animals protect themselves from the sun. Students try and locate the animals at the zoo.

Explore the business side of careers in zoological or marine parks. Learners use the internet, field trips, and their research skills to develop an understanding of what skills are needed to work in an animal park environment.

Pint-sized zoologists practice the art of observation. They take notes, pictures or written, as they observe an animal for a period of time. This can be done at the zoo, with a visiting classroom animal, or perhaps at the humane society....

Students construct imaginary insects. In this insect lesson, students will discover the anatomy of their favorite insect and apply it to their own creation. Student will write a description of their model, and put the insect models...

If you teach a man to fish, he will never go hungry—or he will overfish and permanently damage the ecosystem? Address the traditional biomes as well as the human-included ecosystems and contrasts the biotic and abiotic factors in each....

Young scholars research topics related to zoos and zoo animals. They compare and contrast the size of animals, make a book of facts about bears, draw snakes, and write animal stories and poetry. They complete a series of writing and...

Learners research farm animals and write a story based on the research.
