  • Project Cover-Up – Fur? Feathers? Scales? Which animals wear what? Students will compare the coverings of different types of animals and learn how they help them survive.
  • Up All Night – Just as we go to sleep at night, a whole new world of animals is waking up! Students will explore how these animals use their senses to help them survive at night.
  • Getting Around – Some animals swim, some fly, some run. Students will learn how different animals “do the locomotion”.
  • What’s for Lunch? – Plants? Bugs? All animals need food in order to live and grow, but who eats what? Students will explore the different ways animals get their energy and sort animals based on what they eat.
  • Homes around the World – You can find animals everywhere from steamy jungles to bone dry deserts. Students will sort animals into their habitats by looking at the special characteristics they have to survive.

Please note: Zoomobile programs are available for a maximum of 25 children per session.
