Studying Animal Behavior
- Grades: 6th-12th
- Time: 60 minutes
- Fee: $200 / $150 Early Bird
Why and how do scientists study animal behavior? To explore these questions, your students will investigate animals up close in a zoo classroom and in an exhibit to learn the difference between observation and inference. Using tables to collect and analyze data, your students will develop the skills needed to better understand animal behavior and the tools that scientists use to study wildlife.
