Students will go on an exciting virtual quest into the Zoo to learn how changes in the environment have affected animals worldwide and how humans are helping endangered species.
Students will meet live animals as they learn about animal adaptations, life cycles, behaviors, and physical characteristics. We’ll explore the water cycle and meet a special freshwater animal ambassador as well as Florida’s own gopher tortoise to learn how we can help this important keystone species.
