Elephant Sanctuary
Program Description: Each program begins with a visit to the Sanctuary's on-site office. For the first time visitor we suggest viewing our introductory video The Asian Elephant. This 7-minute video is a valuable teaching tool for students with limited exposure to this endangered species. The video is transmitted over the teleconference system. If your time is limited, or if you are a repeat visitor, we can omit the video viewing. Through an additional camera in our elephants' habitat, students are privy to the private lives of the elephants residing at the Sanctuary. This non-intrusive observation allows viewers to experience natural elephant behavior in a wild setting, and enables them to become familiar with each elephant - her history, habits, and how moving to the sanctuary has changed her life. These elephants represent a new age of captive elephant management; what they are teaching us is invaluable. The Elephant Sanctuary has developed two units focusing on the study of elephants. One unit is appropriate for grades K - 3; the second unit is appropriate for grades 4 - 8. The K - 3 unit consists of 35 pages of background information for the teacher and learning activities for children. The curriculum for grades 4 - 8 consists of 72 pages of instruction, background information, charts and graphs, activities, etc. Areas of study, such as social studies, literature, math, and science have been integrated into the units.

Birds of a Feather
Program Description: All birds have feathers, and birds are the only organisms to have them. What can be learned about birds from their feathers? This videoconference emphasizes the importance of adaptation in organisms. Examine the structure of several types of feathers and identify the differences. This will help students recognize how to look for adaptations and determine why they are important. In addition, other bird adaptations may be discussed (beaks, feet, etc.) as well as the research methods used at SERC to track the migratory routes of birds. This videoconference can be extended by a component involving life birds, during which students can compare and contrast the feeding habits of two different raptors. Hawks feed during the day but owls feed at night, and what they eat can be determined from their pellets. Because this demonstration involves life birds, please inform us of your interest in this additional component.

Animal Groups
Program Description: Children will discuss the variety of living organisms and why we name and group them. Concepts of living or non-living, plant or animal will be introduced. Classes will learn that science categorizes animals based on differences and likenesses, introducing the terms vertebrates/invertebrates. Live animals and animal biofacts* will be on hand to “test” whether students have learned the basic differences in five classes of vertebrates (i.e. fish, birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians.) Students will participate in sorting games that illustrate how groups are formed using sameness and difference.

Animal Classification
Program Description: Students will discuss the variety of living organisms and why we name and group them. Students will learn who created binomial nomenclature, why the world of science needed it, and why we have to learn all that Latin! A few basic Latin root words used in classification will be introduced. Younger students will see carnivore and herbivore skulls (and learn about omnivores) and then discuss how what an animal eats creates another way of grouping. Older students will learn the word taxonomy and the divisions of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Working in groups, students will create pneumonic devices to remember this. Games and sorting strategies will be employed to see how science uses differences and likenesses to form groups. Using live animals, students will classify (as a class) to test their understanding of what they’ve learned.

The Uganda Connection: Making a Difference
Program Description: The Uganda Connection is a 6-week intensive study targeting middle school students. The program will commence with a videoconference session with Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Throughout the following weeks, students will work with teachers in their own locations as they learn about forest conservation and wildlife affected by deforestation. The chimpanzee will be used as the primary example. Contact will be maintained between all the students and Cleveland Metroparks Zoo via email messages sent a minimum of twice per week. Near the end of the month, students will begin designing a plan of action to help stop deforestation and save the chimpanzee in Uganda. The culminating lesson will include the students in both countries by presenting their projects and comparing/contrasting the conservation issues that face the U.S. and Uganda. There will be a fee for this program. This fee will be partially dependent upon how many groups register for this class. Up to three US groups will be allowed to participate. Other sites may be allowed to observe. To apply for this program teachers need to be able to complete the assigned lesson plans prior to each videconferencing session. Also, due to the time difference between the U.S. and Uganda, teachers and students must be able to attend videoconference during early hours in the morning. Please note that times and dates are subject to change. Please contact the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo for dates.

The Reconstructed Pennsbury Manor
Program Description: Pennsbury Manor was reconstructed and opened to the public in 1939. Using numerous primary sources, extensive research was conducted prior to the reconstruction. The question continues to be asked today: How much does it look like the original? In this two-part program, students first look at the documentation for Pennsbury and decide how they would have reconstructed Pennsbury Manor. In the second part, students are shown how the architect for the reconstruction used the documentation.

Amazing Sound
Program Description: You will see the production of sound demonstrated using a variety of non-conventional mediums. Longitudinal and compression waves will be explored along with other exciting properties of sound, including vibration, pitch, amplitude and frequency. See sound produced with smooth metal rods and drinking straws along with other commonly found items. Also see the effects of frequency and amplitude on glass as the "Acoustical Glass Breaker" shatters glass-using sound. If you desire, students may participate in the making of sound with drinking straws.

I’m All Charged Up
Program Description: During this program, we will discuss, investigate, explore, and demonstrate concepts and principles of electricity. Emphasis will be placed on the nature of like and unlike charges and why current flows through wire (conductor). To name a few, the student can participate in demonstrations: static electricity, parallel and series circuits, and how to make a galvanometer and a rheostat (a dimmer). If you would like to perform some of the demonstrations with us, contact our Distance Learning Coordinator for instructions.

Kitchen Cabinet Science
Program Description: Join us in performing science demonstrations that can be accomplished with everyday materials and "things" that are commonly found in the home. We will explore the science of "air pressure" using cola cans, hard-boiled eggs, candles, water and carafes. Newton’s Laws of Motion, the effects of air pressure on various objects, and the three states of mater (solids, liquids & gasses) will be demonstrated using cola bottles, pens and sewing hoops. Discover the magic of surface tension by using picture frame glass and water. Also, we will demonstrate the properties of thermo-dynamics using balloons; elasticity using needles, baggies, balloons and racquetballs; and elasticity using hands and balloons.

Magic of Air
Program Description: Can you feel the pressure being exerted on your body as you read this? Depending on your altitude you have at least 14.6 pounds of air pressing down on every square inch of your body. Air pressure at sea level is 14.6 lbs. per square inch and as your altitude increases the pressure decreases. We will be discussing and demonstrating the effects of air pressure on such common items as hard boiled eggs, balloons, water, canned soda, 3 by 5 cards, panes of glass and ping pong balls to name just a few.
