Class Trip Programs
ZEST - Interconnections: People, Plants and Animals
(Grades 1-12)
How are the people, plants and animals of the tropical rain forests of Asia connected? This on-grounds program explores the myriad of ways that people, plants and animals are interdependent. Join us for this interactive program in the Tropical Asia exhibit.
ZEST - Soaked or Parched? Water in the African Savanna (Grades 1-12)
How do the cycles of wet and dry seasons influence the lives of people, plants and animals on the African savanna? This on-grounds program explores the role of water as a vital resource for people, plants and animals in this dynamic ecosystem and in our own neighborhoods.
Tropical Rain Forest (Grades K-12)
Tropical rain forests are ecosystems of amazing biological diversity...and they are disappearing at a phenomenal rate. An interactive classroom presentation engages students in becoming different layers of the forest and the fascinating animals that inhabit them. Then students embark on a docent-guided tropical rain forest trek to discover its wildlife.
Endangered Species (Grades 5-12)
The rate of species extinction has been increasing at a tremendous rate over the last two centuries. Using inquiry-based learning, students will examine how wildlife is impacted by changes in their environment and interaction with humans. Following the classroom program, students will tour the zoo to learn about some of the zoo's endangered animals.
