Biodiversity project
captivates
students' imaginations and evokes curiosity,
exploration, deep commitment and compassion
to the diversity of life on earth.
Teachers convey the multifaceted concepts
of habitat protection and species multiplicity
via classes in Entomology, Zoology and
Marine Biology.
Throughout the duration of each course,
guest specialists in a given course's
subject matter are invited to attend
the workshops and share their knowledge
and experience.
Field trips are the highlight of the
program. Students witness the work of
experts in Entomology, Zoology and Marine
Biology while visiting their working
environment. That is when they can finally
see how the knowledge attained in school
can be applied in real life circumstances.
Professional photographers, artists
and writers show students how to use
visual and written expression to chronicle
their knowledge. At the end of every
course each child creates his or her
own scrapbook, a constant reminder of
a one of a kind educational experience.
ENTOMOLOGY
In this Endeavor, a child's natural
curiosity of bugs is cultivated. How
people relate to insects in music, literature,
film, religion, and art is the study
of cultural entomology. Students observe
insect behavior, learn about insect
habitats, and experience the diversity
of insects at exhibits. They write,
draw, take photographs, and create real
art that details what they learn about
the community of insects. They sort,
organize, and present their reflections,
recordings, and findings.
ZOOLOGY
This course is dedicated to the animal
population. Since Zoology is extremely
wide-ranging field, students will learn
a diversity of topics, starting with
animal classification. With the help
from the exports, they will conduct
research to expand knowledge about animal
lifestyle and how they survive in their
natural environment.
MARINE BIOLOGY
This course invites students to be part
of a fascinating adventure into the
mysterious undersea world. Teachers
and special guests introduce students
to geological process that occur beneath
the waters and how it effects marine
life and dry land as well.
They will learn about the plants and
animals, occupants of the deep ocean,
how they attract prey and fight off
predators. Students will explore the
culture of a "giant" that
comprises three-quarters of the surface
of our planet with its mysteries, legends,
and events still not explained by mankind.
