Wild Science Academy Seniors: Genetics of Endangered Species

EVENT INFORMATION

For home school students 10-13 years | ADVANCED REGISTRATION REQUIRED

Topic: Genetics of Endangered Species – What is genetic diversity and why is it important? When breeding an endangered species, how do zoos decide which animals to pair? Who keeps track of all those family trees? Answer these questions and more while talking with real keepers and conservationists that work with endangered species. Create a model to show what can happen to the genetic diversity of a threatened population and how humans can impact the future of a species.

Wild Science Academy lets you explore the world of science with the Zoo as your classroom! These affordable and educational drop-off classes teach science through animal interactions, behind-the-scenes experiences, laboratory investigations, group projects, Zoo hikes and other inquiry-based learning activities.

Designed for home school students, but open to all, Wild Science Academy is perfect for any young student with a desire to learn more about the science of zoos. Each class is also developed using Arizona Science Standards and Next Generation Science Standards.
