In the Classroom
We collaborate with Texas Wildlife Association to bring interactive, Science TEKS-aligned wildlife and natural resource conservation lessons into South Texas classrooms through our “Wildlife by Design” program, offering six unique themes for students from fourth through twelfth grade.
Classroom presentations
We partner with Texas Wildlife Association (TWA) to bring wildlife and natural resources conservation presentations into the classroom through our Wildlife by Design program.
Our educators visit classrooms with interactive, Science TEKS-aligned lessons and activities. These interactive lessons are a means of promoting critical thinking skills while encouraging students to connect with the natural world. Our partnership with TWA allows these programs to reach counties in South Texas where they were previously unavailable.
We offer six unique Wildlife by Design programs:
- Birds of a Feather
- Investigating Life Cycles
- Skins and Skulls
- Stewarding Soil
- Where Is Our Water?
- Outdoor Scavenger Hunt (Prior Campus visit required)
Each program is customizable for fourth through twelfth grade to meet the necessary science rigor and state standards and can be correlated with specific thematic units.
Programs are designed for up to 45 students or two classes maximum per session (1 class for Outdoor Scavenger Hunt), and teachers can schedule up to 6 repeat sessions per day. Program reservations are on a semester-by-semester basis and are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.
For more detailed information about each Wildlife by Design program or to schedule a presentation, contact our educators below or visit the
Texas Wildlife Association website.
