Transform your classroom into an interactive museum of natural Wildlife and Biodiversity!


Students will be welcomed with the sounds of wildlife. 

Students will be introduced to several different animal and plant adaptations through the use of authentic samples of skulls and bones such as a moose, deer, bison, mink etc.  They will also be able to explore real world samples of bird’s nests, porcupine quills, dragonflies etc. 

Animal and plant kingdoms will be identified and explored through my sample taxidermy of an eastern chipmunk, barred owl, wood duck, ruffed grouse and many plant samples.  The classification and relationships between organisms will be investigated while taking part in the interactive activities and playing the wildlife bingo game.
