Programs for High School Students
(Grades 10-12)

Classroom programs

Burn Barrel Biology
This topical program is presented through powerpoint to provide students with an overview of the environmental and health impacts of open trash burning.  Students examine the 'biology' of a burn barrel by looking at commonly burned items, learning about what is contained in smoke that is released, and exploring how this smoke effects the biology of plants, animals and humans. In addition, students investigate safe alternatives for trash disposal and discuss the pros and cons of different solutions. (45-60 minutes)

Marine Biology
This program focuses on classes of invertebrates found in the marine intertidal environment. Live marine animals are used to discuss adaptations and the role of invertebrates in the marine ecosystem.   (45-60 minutes)

From Lake to Sea
The Susquehanna River travels more than 400 miles from its source in Otsego Lake to its end at the Chesapeake Bay.  Students are introduced to animals of the watershed and participate in discussions about ways that human activities impact our watershed environments. (45-60 minutes)
(NOTE: Content can be modified to reflect other New York State rivers.)

Owls: Our Nocturnal Neighbors
This program introduces our region’s most amazing nocturnal predators - owls - and their biology.  Standard program features three species of owls (upon availability).  Owl pellets for use in a dissection follow-up activity can be provided at an red-tailadditional $3 ea.  (45-60 minutes)

 

Raptors: Hunters of the Sky
Students are introduced to at least 4 of our resident raptors and learn about their adaptations, natural history and conservation.  Standard program features (upon availability) a Red-tailed Hawk, American Kestrel, Great Horned Owl, Barred Owl and Turkey Vulture. (45-60 minutes)

 


Field Programs

Living Environment Field Ecology Review
 During this program (requires a double lab period), students are taken on a guided exploration of the school grounds and/or surrounding area to review ecology concepts and see real examples of competition, symbiosis, nutrient cycling, succession and more!  The program serves as an excellent review for students at the close of their ecology unit, as the direct field experience  help them learn, remember and understand key concepts and vocabulary. 

 
 

Our programs qualify for payment through BOCES Arts in Education & Exploratory Enrichment!
