Description

Wild Medicine
 
What happens to a seal who has a toothache? How does an orangutan get a checkup? Wild Medicine invites students to join our team of veterinarians and other animal health professionals to explore how animals go to the doctor, just like us!

This virtual school program is part of Conservation Classroom, a collection of monthly lessons for K-5 students. Each lesson has four elements: wonder (video), engage (live virtual program), act (activities), and connect (video). Follow along with all four parts or pick and choose the videos and activities you want to explore.

Grade/Learning Level: K-5

Standards: Supports NGSS K-LS1-1, 3-LS1-1, 4-LS1-1

Crosscutting Concepts: Patterns, cause and effect, systems and system models, structure and function
  
Program Details & Accessibility:

Live virtual programs take place monthly from October through May. These programs are designed for multiple groups of students to join and learn together. We welcome all audiences from individuals and home-schooling families to large groups or schools.

Programs take place on Zoom in webinar format. Individual participants’ audio and video will be disabled, but students can actively participate using polls, emoji reactions, Q&A, and chat to hosts. Program includes live captioning, American sign language (ASL) interpretation, and simulcast Spanish interpretation. The program will be recorded and posted on our website and as well as emailed out everyone who registered 24-48 hours after the program. ASL TIP: If you would like to see the ASL interpreter, we recommend joining on a computer instead of a phone or tablet so the interpreter will be visible the entire time.

Program Resources:

Take your student’s learning further! All programs come with a collection of resources released at the beginning of the month, which can be found on the Zoo’s school programs page at https://nationalzoo.si.edu/education/school-programs. The collection includes an “I Wonder…” video which is a great introduction to the monthly program topic, an activity that can be used during the program, an activity to use after the program, and a “Career Connections” video that connects students to a related STEAM career. Note: the program can be enjoyed without accessing the additional resources alone as well.
