The Science of Animals
An educational program, targeted for learners between the ages of 8 and 13, that consists of hands-on activities to explore some of the inspiring animals of our world.
This project was built to support an after-school science program for our friends at The Outlet in Springfield IL.
“The Outlet strives every day to help young males ages 8-22 develop the capacity and skill sets to make responsible life decisions, acquire and maintain meaningful spiritual and ethical values, explore their gifts, talents, and recognize their dreams and aspirations.”
We are happy to be partnering with the Outlet to provide this educational opportunity for their learners!
Please feel free to contact us if your organization is looking for a STEM program that focuses on active learning about exciting topics such as jaguars, bees, wildlife conservation, and farming!.
Jaguars!
Week 1: Jaguar Biology
Hosted by: Professor Dave Cox, Co-Founder of Inspire EdVentures
This week, Professor Dave Cox will give you an introduction to why we work with jaguars, and a look at the biology of these amazing animals! Be sure to have your notebooks and water bottles handy because you are going outside to learn how to track animals!
Week 2: Jaguars as Predators
Hosted by: Professor Dave Cox, Co-Founder of Inspire EdVentures
After learning all about jaguar biology, we will now take a look at how jaguars fit into their ecosystem. As Professor Cox will explain, rainforests, or what we commonly call jungles, are rich in biodiversity, and jaguars play an important role in that ecosystem. So grab your notebook and get ready to learn all about what jaguars eat, and their importance to rain forest ecology.
