Design Your Dream Zoo FLEX | (Zoology)
Allie Wilson, MAT
Average rating:4.9Number of reviews:(300)
In this Flex class, students will let their imaginations go wild as they design their dream zoo, aquarium, or wildlife sanctuary. To create their zoo, students will consider exhibit design, animal care, visitor experiences, and more!

*Please note that this class is offered live as a camp June-July but that this course has no live meetings. If you're anything like me, zoos are some of the best places on earth! I love them so much that I have worked at aquariums, wildlife sanctuaries, and nature museums. Have you ever wanted to design a zoo (or aquarium or wildlife sanctuary) with all your favorite animals? Now is your chance! Whether you want an Arctic-themed zoo, a zoo with big cats, or a bird-only zoo, it's your job...
Students will practice creativity, problem-solving skills, and innovative thinking by creating a zoo. Students will practice giving attention to details that make a zoo successful. Students will also grow in their understanding of practical zoology and will likely grow in their love of animals and the natural world!
I am a teacher with experience with both middle school and high school students, teaching zoology, biology, and environmental science. Before teaching, I worked for a primate sanctuary, a major aquarium, and three science/nature museums, all working directly with animals from sloths to jellyfish to poisonous frogs.
Homework Offered
The time that students spend on this class will vary widely depending on your student. A student likely could complete the week's tasks in an hour or two, but would absolutely have the freedom to spend several hours a week on it if they would like. Students are always welcome to simplify or expand the project as needed.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
I will give thorough and frequent feedback to students. Formal grades or written comments available upon request.Grades Offered
Learners may complete the class digitally or may use art supplies. Students completing the project digitally could use Google docs, slides, or other modeling software. Students making a physical project may want to use paper, poster board, markers, paint, colored pencils, etc.
I am a firm advocate for well-run zoos and aquariums (which I consider to mean certified by the Association for Zoos and Aquariums in the US and similar groups elsewhere). That said, I encourage students to think about the implications of animal captivity for themselves. Students should feel comfortable if they disagree with me on the merits of zoos and are welcome to pursue a model of a wildlife refuge or sanctuary. Regardless of model, all students will need to thoroughly consider animal welfare (i.e. we aren't going to put a tiger and some rabbits and some penguins all in a 10x10 exhibit).
