A big THANK YOU to ClickScholar Jeni who recommended this terrific, multi-media website that is chock-full of free and downloadable lessons and activities on animal and marine animal science.
Sponsored by SeaWorld/Busch Gardens this site is a companion to the exhibits and education provided at the amusement parks. It is intended to increase students’ competencies in science and math while developing a lifelong appreciation and respect for all living creatures and habitats.
When you get to the site you’ll see a menu that includes:
*Animal Info – Get free “Animal Infobooks” and fun facts, listen to the sounds different animals make, explore ecosystems and zoological research.
*Just For Teachers – Get free, downloadable teachers’ guides and classroom activities for grades K-12 (that can be tweaked for homeschools) on topics from Arctic Animals to Marine Animal Husbandry & Training. Watch the educational and entertaining “Shamu TV” online!
*Fun Zone – Play interactive games that teach as they test your knowledge about animals. Print coloring pages of killer whales, penguins, sharks, elephants, gorillas, lions, and rhinos.
You’ll also find info about the educational programs, camps, and internships offered for students at the various theme-park locations throughout the U.S. and career information too. Learn about conservation and find out what’s new at the
SeaWorld, Discovery Cove, and Busch Gardens theme parks near you.
