EdZOOcation Programs In Our Classroom
"Thank you for offering this service! My students and I loved it! ” – Carthage Elementary Teachers
During our 30-minute on-site EdZOOcation programs, groups gather in our classroom to learn about wildlife biology and ecology through up-close encounters with our Animal Ambassadors. In the virtual adaptation to this program, we present from our classroom to you through ZOOM or other video applications.
Zoo New York is proud to present Educational Programming that strives to meet Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The Zoo currently offers three grade-specific program options for EdZOOcation bookings. We will work with teachers and educators to provide the best program for your group.
We are continually striving to create more opportunities for education. Please contact our Education Department with any questions. Our program options may be adapted for all age groups and are limited to participation by no more than 25 individuals per session. Ask our Director about expansions.
