Use These Groovy Tunes to Teach Students About Wildlife
As the new school year begins for many schools across the country, we’re encouraging teachers to incorporate environmental education into their lesson plans. To help increase student engagement, we have a fun way to teach conservation education inside and outside of the classroom – through music!
Thanks to The Whizpops’ CD, Ranger Rick Trail Mix Volume 1, kids (and adults) can learn more about wildlife that need our help such as bison, monarchs, and pika. Along with the catchy educational lyrics, teachers can also pair the songs with some of the National Wildlife Federation’s lesson plans. This will engage auditory, kinesthetic, and traditional learners.
Help your students get into the groove of conservation and encourage educators in your school community to incorporate these lesson plans, or see if you can even facilitate them at home!
Endangered Species: What and Where?
Human activities have greatly accelerated the rate of extinction worldwide. In order to better protect the remaining endangered and threatened species such as the black-footed ferret and California condor, this lesson will help students learn about various North American endangered species through creation of a species book. Older students will locate endangered species on a map and explore their habitat requirements.
