More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This resource unit contains a teacher information packet and a middle school student activity packet to be used in creating a threatened and endangered species unit. The packet of student activities is designed to help maximize a field trip to the zoo and build on students’ zoo experience in the classroom. The teacher information packet covers the topics of general and behavioral goals for the unit; extinction; vegetation zones or biomes (contains a world map); selected endangered and threatened animals listed by location in the wild and taxonomic classification; profiles of 30 selected animals with specific information on each species; zoos and endangered animals; protecting endangered species; and a list of 28 resources and a 27-word glossary. Fourteen student activities are divided into classroom and zoo sections. At the zoo, students are instructed to collect and record data from observations of animals and exhibits. Zoo-collected data are intended for later analysis and follow-up discussion in the classroom.

A teacher’s guide for each activity contains a list of the specific Oregon Comprehensive Curriculum goals addressed by that activity, and activity objectives, directions, and extension ideas. Teacher reproducible worksheets are provided for activities. (LZ
