In this exciting class, your student will watch our flock of Caribbean flamingos through our live HD cameras. Together, we will: -- Record observations about flamingo behavior via drawings and written notes -- Make estimates about how many flamingos we will see, and practice counting animals that move around a lot... just like scientists do -- Learn how flamingo feather colors and the shapes on their bodies help them survive in their habitat -- See how their food plays a special role in their famous coloration Students will be able to ask our expert instructors all of their bird questions. No previous knowledge is needed; just come prepared to learn and have fun! Please Note: In the nature of live cameras, sometimes the animals will not be in view. We will supplement with recorded footage of said animals whenever possible.
