Junior Zookeepers: Animal Science

This 7-week course will spend two hours each week focusing on areas of reptile science that touch on topics from each grade’s core animal science/zoology curriculum. Each class will include a chance to handle some cool animals, help with cleaning or feeding and work on a craft project. Please note, we may not get to every single requirement for each grade, but we’ll do as many as we can during our two hour class each week.
Reptile – Class Topics
March 18th – Kindergarten – Focuses on observing patterns, identifying what animals need to survive, and basic characteristics.
