Zooniverse - Citizen Science for the Classroom

Zooniverse is a website that allows everyday people to participate in citizen science projects. One of these citizen science projects is Snapshot Serengeti. This project provides participants the opportunity to see camera trap photos from Serengeti National Park. When used in the classroom this project provides educators the opportunity to show endangered animals in their natural habitats while helping real scientists classify the animals in the pictures.

Animal Behavior Lesson Plan

The Saint Louis Zoo, Washington University in St. Louis and National Center for Research Resources have created a series of lessons about animal behavior, ethograms and research for teachers working with students in grades to 5 to 8. Introducing students to these concepts at an early age promotes their curiosity into the field of animal science and raises their understanding in conservation issues.
