Based on Cleveland Metroparks Zoo's popular Wild Animal Show, this traveling version will use humor, theatrical techniques, and trained animals to engage students' attention and imagination. Along with covering state mandated science standards, the show will increase students' awareness for the natural world, reinforcing that each person can make a difference by helping to improve the future for wildlife. Children in grades K-3 find out about animal adaptations. Older kids (grades 4-8) learn about training and behavior. High School students are exposed to zoo careers. We offer a limited amount of programs for free. In order to qualify as a scholarship school, 30% or more the students at your school must be eligible to receive a free lunch. Scholarships are available only to schools in Cuyahoga County or Hinckley Township.

Dr. Z travels only to schools and is not available for picnics, parties, or festivals. The traveling show is geared toward audiences of 75 or more in a gym or auditorium setting and is too big to be held in a classroom. If you have a smaller group or location, our Outreach program will come to your classroom.

Cost:

• $180 in Cuyahoga County
• $280 outside Cuyahoga County
• $100 for second program (not available with scholarship programs)

The program is offered from November 2008 to March 2009. Registration will begin on June 9, 2008 at 8:30 am.
