The NEW Zoo & Adventure Park is offering Home School Workshops, open to all home-schooled students in grades 3rd through 8th for the 2016-2017 school year. These drop-off programs will include live animal encounters and zoo tours, along with games and other fun activities where students will have hands-on learning opportunities. Students should dress in layers, bringing clothing appropriate for both indoor and outdoor activities. Each session will last 2 1⁄2 hours and cost $12 per student for Zoo Pass Members or $15 per student for non-members.
Wetlands are diverse ecosystems that provide homes for a myriad of species–along with providing important services to humans. Amphibians, such as salamanders and frogs, will be our focus species to help us examine topics related to pollution, bio-indicators, the water cycle, and food chains.
