Celebrating National Zoo and Aquarium Month
in June is a great opportunity to gather the family and take “a trip” to explore your local zoo and aquarium, as well as to
visit the websites of America’s great zoos and aquariums. Many of the sites
offer excellent educational resources, including photographs, videos, facts,
lesson plans and activities. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums
provides a collection of links to their accredited zoos and aquariums.
The Jim Henson Company has also recently
created The Dinosaur Train Discovery Tour, which provides some
great resources for you that any young DINOSAUR TRAIN fan is going to
love!
What is the Dinosaur Train
Discovery Tour? It’s is a mobile website that may be viewed on a
desktop or laptop computer, or on a smartphone web browser, and relates
dinosaur and natural history content from the DINOSAUR TRAIN animated
television series (which airs on PBS KIDS), to zoo and aquarium animals.
At aquariums and zoos, The Dinosaur
Train Discovery Tour will teach kids fun facts about today’s living
creatures, and encourage them to learn more about the relationship between
modern day ocean life and animals such as sharks, crabs, turtles, elephants,
bats, birds, crocodiles and more, and their prehistoric ancestors.
You can see the site at the following link: http://pbskids.org/dinosaurtrain/tour
You can access the mobile website either
before, during or after visits to zoos and aquariums to enhance your child’s
engagement in paleontology, animal science and natural history. Guides
can also be downloaded for families to take with them on their visits too:
We love this, simple go to Dinosaur Train Discovery Tour and select the place you are visiting. Next enjoy the educational tour with Dinosaur Train which is great prelude for your kids to get them really excited for your trip!
