Our programming is designed to be integrated into your existing curriculum & meet the Michigan science standard(s) for your grade.
Each learning unit adheres to a 3-step method for maximum immersion & content retention
Step 1: Pre-program foundation worksheet or activity
This worksheet/activity introduces the custom theme of your unit & provides a base-knowledge of the content delivered in our live presentation. For example:
What is a raptor?
Vocabulary words
Opportunity to prepare questions
Step 2: Live Raptor Presentation!
Our live online presentation includes 1 or more of our Raptor Ambassadors who help us communicate the theme of your unit. This also provides students the opportunity to get far closer to our ambassador(s) than otherwise possible.
Our live online program consists of a 40 minute presentation & an additional 15-20 minutes for Q&A
These sessions utilize Zoom, Google Classroom, or any other choice of video conference platform.
Step 3: Post-program immersion worksheet or activity
This worksheet/activity delves deeper into the detail & connections of your unit, as well as solidifies the information covered in steps 1 & 2 for maximum retention.
