Audubon Adventures: An Education School Program
So Different, So Alike: The Diverse World of Mammals They called us Cold-blooded (about snakes, turtles, and other reptiles) Who Needs a Backbone? (about invertebrates) The Feather Factor (about birds and all their variations). Each Audubon Adventures kit includes 32 color environmental newspapers per topic, a teacher's classroom resource guide complete with background information on each newspaper topic, detailed lesson plans, tips for outdoor study, research material, duplicating masters, links to relevant web sites and suggestions for hand-on activities to foster further knowledge and understanding of each topic. As children use the materials in this program to practice skills in reading, writing, research, observation & collecting data, they also learn fascinating facts about birds & wildlife. Audubon Adventures supports the teaching of math, geography, social studies, science & technology. No prior training in environmental sciences is required to use this program. Become a Special Friend of Children and Nature The success of the Audubon Adventures program is due to the generous contributions from members and friends. These gifts plus a share of the funds raised through our the sale of bird seed, calendars and other items made it possible for elementary students in many area schools to go "Adventuring" last year. Our goal is to be a part of all schools in the Tulsa area. Know a teacher who might be interested in Audubon Adventures? Know a parent or grandparent who might want to sponsor a classroom?
