Week+4+-+Conservation+and+Advocacy

Week 4: Conservation and Advocacy Day 1

What is advocacy? What is conservation? Why are they important? Today, we discussed conservation and advocacy. Students learned about the importance of conserving plants, animals, and habit. After our discussion, we went to the I-Max theater and watched Kenya. We were able to see many endangered animals and this helped us better understand conservation and advocacy. Day 2 Today, we went to speak with the PACH Keeper, and we talked with him about socialization of elephants. We learned a lot of interesting information about elephants. Ask us what we learned! Day 3 Why is it important to help save endangered species? What can you do to help?

Today, we went on a scavenger hunt to find endangered species in the zoo. We recorded the findings in our journals. We then wrote about what can be done to keep these animals from becoming extinct. Day 4 Today, we were lucky enough to get to watch the gator training in The Kingdom of the Nights. The trainers showed us how they care for the animals and why its important to train the gators. We ended the day by going to Hot Shops to set up for our showcase!
