Program Description:

Increasingly, education research is suggesting that field trips - especially to places like Zoos & wildlife centers - enhance learning in the classroom by increasing student interest in science and providing them with social learning opportunities outside the classroom. We also know that active, student-centered learning, whether through inquiry or other participatory activities, empowers students to ask and answer their own questions. In turn, this leads to a genuine ownership of knowledge that leads to greater performance in and out of the classroom. The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden has committed itself to providing these active learning opportunities for all our guests, including grade-banded learning activities for pre-K - 12 students. For you teachers in the Cincinnati / Tri-State community, we want to be your resource for field trips, outreach programs, and overnights that are standards-based and filled with fun, activity, and inspiration!
