K-12 Curriculum and Activity Guide
The Project WILD K-12 Activity Guide focuses on wildlife and habitat. Because these activities are designed for integration into existing courses of study, instructors may use one or many Project WILD activities or the entire set of activities may serve quite effectively as the basis for a course of study.
Each Project WILD activity contains all of the information needed to conduct that activity including objectives, method, background information, a list of materials needed, procedures, evaluation suggestions, recommended grade levels, subject areas, duration, group size, setting, and key terms. A glossary is provided, as well as a cross-reference by topics and skills.
This is the primary activity guide and contains 124 different activities and is usually the basic guide provided during a workshop.
Aquatic Guide
The Project WILD Aquatic K-12 Curriculum and Activity Guide emphasizes aquatic wildlife and aquatic ecosystems. The guide has 73 activities related to wetlands and aquatic systems.
Like the K-12 Guide, this guide contains the same direction and information for each activity.
Science and Civics
Project WILD's high school curriculum, Science and Civics: Sustaining Wildlife is designed to serve as a guide for involving students in environmental action projects aimed at benefiting the local wildlife found in a community. It involves young people in decisions affecting people, wildlife, and their shared habitat in the community.
The program consists of four major components: 1) Awareness: alerts students to the impact of human and individual activities on habitat quality and quantity; 2) Participatory Democracy: develops principals related to government structures and is appropriate for government and civics units of social studies courses; 3) Habitat Exploration: studies biotic and abiotic parameters of a site and is appropriate for ecology and environmental science units of science courses; and 4) Taking Action: guides both science and social studies students in designing, implementing, and communicating projects to enhance a particular site.
Flying WILD
This exciting program coordinated through the Council for Environmental Education introduces middle school students to bird conservation through classroom activities and school bird festivals. Flying WILD also supports educators by providing standards-based opportunities to engage students in real-world learning, helping them understand the importance of migratory birds and their conservation.
