Animals and Programs List:

Your Place or Mine - Grades K-5
Why doesn't a tree frog live in the desert? Students will explore this question and more as they learn about the basic elements all animals need in their habitats for survival. They will meet live animals who make their homes in a variety of habitats, such as deserts, forests and wetlands. Along their journey, they will discover why it is important for humans to take care of habitats.

Let's Go Froggin' - Grades 3-8
Frogs come in all different sizes, shapes and colors. Each is specially adapted to its environment. Students will meet a variety of frogs from around the world, and learn about some of their unique adaptations and survival techniques. We will also examine the relationships between humans and these remarkable creatures.

But I Want It! - Grades 9-12
Have you ever wished for an exotic fur coat or a pair of alligator boots? What about a tortoise shell barrette or an ivory bracelet? Ever wanted an exotic cat or a rare reptile for a pet? All of these are products made from animals that are becoming endangered due to illegal trade and capture. Through slides, video and actual confiscated items, students are introduced to the problems faced by "valuable" wildlife.

Comparison/Contrast between Reptiles & Amphibians - Any Grade Level
Are snakes and frogs the same? A lizard and salamander have the same body shape, but are they related? Find out these answers and more as we look at the similarities and differences between several animals in the reptile and amphibian families. This program can be altered to meet the needs of your class.
