Absolutely! You’ll probably want to dive right into the Biodiversity Assessment and Challenge lessons so the kids can start their own project(s) to increase, observe and measure more wild plant and animals at your site.
We are not company, we are part of the nonprofit organization The Biodiversity Group.(http://biodiversitygroup.org/) We're not here to make profit, we're here to serve the community, and provide our program to as many kids as possible.
This is one of those two birds with one stone type of dealies. It’s exactly why we created the lessons!
It could be, like anything. But, won’t they ultimately be safer by knowing more about the local plants and animals they are likely to encounter?
All the lessons, except one (SunPrints) uses supplies that you’ll probably find already at home or in your classroom.(undefined) Lots of stuff actually comes right from the recycling!
Absolutely. The activities are readily adaptable to all abilities.
Not at all. But they do help with some data sharing. If you have some smart phones you are all set.
Ideally, one computer with internet access for every two kids should be available at several points throughout the program. However, the program is flexible enough that you can have one computer for every 4 kids, and they can alternate using them.
Yes, many schools write grants for such STEM/STEAM enrichment programs designed to get kids back outside.
