What people are saying...
"At the zoo, I learnt there are many opportunities to create valuable learning experiences for students. Going to the zoo as a pre-service teacher and thinking about how to plan meaningful lessons for STEM, I was able to recognise the potential zoo has for learning and understanding concepts. There were STEM connections during ethogram, there was lots of ways we could use 1 animal and its enclosure for STEM. To plan and teach at the zoo, the teacher has to be open-minded about possible activities that students can do, and engaging with the materials available at the zoo."
Third Year Pre-service Teacher
"I learnt that STEM connections are all around us, and it is important for students to be involved in real-life experiences to understand this. It is important to use practical, hands-on teaching strategies for students to gain the most out of their experience at the zoo."
