Zoology for kids

July 20, 2014 Ticia 7 Comments

Zoology is a favorite subject with elementary kids.  They love to watch animals, go to the zoo, act like animals, and will watch endless animal movies.

Or maybe that’s just my kids?  Either way I’m discovering I’ve got dozens of animal and zoology for kids posts.

Zoology for elementary kids

I know summertime is prime zoo visiting time, so I wanted to give you some great follow up activities to your zoo visit.  These are my kids’ favorite hands on animal science activities and some great zoology for kids ideas.

Zoo animal report form

While you’re at the zoo, I’d recommend using either the zoo animal observation sheet or the animal report form.  Both of them are easy ways for young kids to organize their observations at the zoo.

 

For the next five days I’m going to be sharing different animal types and some fun activities to do with them.

 Each of these Zoology for Kids posts will go live on the day mentioned

Monday: Zoo Animals

Tuesday: Reptiles and Amphibians

Wednesday: Ocean Animals

Thursday: Birds

Friday: Farm Animals

      Thanks I am too! I’m struggling sometimes though to figure out how to explain and string together the different ideas. Fingers crossed I’ll get it all together right.

    Oh! I wish we lived near a zoo. Of course, that’s stupid…all we have to do is go outside here to find a zoo’s worth of wildlife. Still, it might be nice if they were behind the glass 🙂 Looking forward to your series!

      We have friends that have moved to Asia recently to be missionaries, and they send us all sorts of fun pictures of wildlife that we pay to see in a zoo. There it’s described as being a “nuisance,” and I have to laugh at just seeing a monkey as you walk down the street.

      I do too, I’m thinking to wait until school starts down here and then head up to Waco for the day.
