Habitats (K-5th)
Every habitat needs to provide food, water, shelter, and space for animals, but each habitat has its own challenges.  Explore the animals of the rainforest, desert, arctic, and ocean and learn how they are the same and what makes them different.

Adaptations (K-8th)
Why do animals look the way they do?  Do these body parts help them at all?  This program will take a closer look at how animals use their many adaptations to survive in their environments.

Food Webs (2nd-5th)
Every living thing needs energy to survive – and a large source of that energy comes from food!  Take a look at the “who eats who” lineup in the circle of life and understand just how important each animal and plant is for ecosystems to survive!

Zoo Careers (4th-12th)
Ever wonder what it would be like to work at a zoo? Explore the many careers available at the Zoo and find out if one of them is right for you!

Animal Coverings (PreK-2nd)
Fur, scales, feathers or skin. You will learn what keeps an animal's insides in!

Animal Groups (3rd-5th)
Where do you belong? Do you know what characteristics are needed to be an amphibian or a bird? This program will help you to classify animals into each of the vertebrate or invertebrate groups.

Endangered Species (5th-12th)
What's a dodo bird? Did it ever really exist? What animal or plant could disappear next? In this program explore the reasons why animals and plants become endangered and what each of us can do to help them.
