Be a Scientist
with The Peregrine Fund's World Center for Birds of Prey

Join us in learning how to 'Be a Scientist' with the Education Team at the World Center for Birds of Prey!

This two-part lesson will introduce students to the science driven mission of The Peregrine Fund, which is to conserve endangered birds of prey around the world. By discussing the concepts of early elementary (mainly Grade 3) Next Generation Science Standards, students will learn how adaptations facilitate different survival strategies among living things and practice the skill of creating a hypothesis based on their observations and determine how to test their idea with further data collection.

The maximum number of students for this program is 30 participants per session. This two-class program costs $5 for participation for Peregrine Fund members and their families and $10 for participation for non-members.

We will be using Zoom Webinars for these classes. Students will be encouraged to use the interactive features available in the Zoom room and there will be a short homework assignment for students to complete after the first class.
