The Toledo Zoo is now happy to provide Homeschoolers with a unique, interactive, year-long program! You and your children can explore the wonderful world of animal groups with in-depth, hands-on lessons! This year's program, Desert Diversity, is a specially designed curriculum to provide your children with a look at the diversity of desert ecosystems! Your child will discover different animals, their adaptations, the habitats they call home and the diverse cultures that interact with them. We’ll also look at how the animal’s ecosystems are being affected today, and what can be done to help preserve their wonderful habitats!
Classes will be conducted in both a classroom and on Zoo grounds. All of the programs are developed for a particular age group and include animal encounters, interaction with Toledo Zoo Staff, and the utilization of bio-facts to complement each month’s lesson. Classes will include opportunities for the children to participate in art activities, journaling, on grounds visits, experiments and other hands-on, minds-on activities. In addition, each lesson has been designed in conjunction with the National Science Education Standards. So heat up your lessons this year by joining us at The Toledo Zoo for our Home schooling Programs!
