LIFELONG LEARNING WITH AUDUBON ADVENTURES!
Audubon Adventures
helps 3rd through 6th graders form positive
attitudes about nature. The
topics and themes covered by
Audubon Adventures are important to Audubon’s mission and supports
educators utilizing the materials. An all-new four-part, series of
Audubon Adventures for the 2010 – 2011 school year called,
Wildlife on the Move,
focuses on the amazing journeys and life cycles of different birds,
Monarch butterfly (and other insects), whales and sea turtles.
The key message throughout is
that migratory species have special conservation needs. The information
provided is a standards-based classroom curriculum and is rooted in
elementary science, language arts, and social studies.

Dike 14 Nature Preserve Discovery Pack
Western Cuyahoga Audubon would also like to introduce educators to a newly created educational offering sponsored by the Dike 14 Nature Preserve Environmental Education Collaborative (Dike 14 EEC). WCAS is part of the collaborative and for the past year the collaborative members have been creating teaching kits which are now packaged into the Dike 14 Nature Preserve Discovery Pack. Prepared primarily with grades 4 through 7 in mind, the kits are geared toward understanding the natural history and geography at the Dike 14 Nature Preserve or neighborhood green spaces through activities. Each kit has Objectives, Materials (most of which are provided), a Glossary, Procedures, Extension activities and are aligned with Science or Social Studies standards for the grades.
Here are the kits in one Discovery Pack:
· Flowers – Cleveland Botanical Garden
· Trees – Cleveland Metroparks
· Insects – The Cleveland Museum of Natural History
· Watershed – Cuyahoga Soil & Water Conservation District
· Geography – Earth Day Coalition
· Weather – Lake Erie Nature and Science Center
· Mammals – The Nature Center at Shaker Lakes
· Birds – Western Cuyahoga Audubon Society

Plus there is a Manual for kit use, a pair of binoculars and an insect net, and Dike 14 field guide. Just think what your class may be able to use! You may choose to use all of the topics or just one, you may use it in a classroom or schoolyard or take a field trip with the pack. There are many options. Other information about the Discovery Pack can be found on our Dike 14 Nature page.
