Classroom Programs | Grades 6th-8th
WCS scientists and keepers use observations to help answer questions and so can you! We'll start with an animal meet and greet to put student observation and inquiry skills to the test. Afterwards, your young scientists will venture into the zoo to practice making observations, asking questions, and proposing a hypothesis. This program is a great way to introduce the scientific process and encourage students to create investigations.
