Animal Encounter
During this experience, students have an up-close and personal encounter with wild animals that populate Southeastern Michigan. Adrian College Teacher Education and Biology students that are trained to care for the animals take the opportunity to share them with visiting students. The students have a hands-on opportunity to learn how animals care for themselves in the wild and what we should do to protect and preserve their natural habitat. They will gain an understanding in the conservation laws and learn what different types of animals are and how to classify them.
Students who wish to touch the animals will get a hands-on opportunity with the animals after learning the proper way to handle them. Students can choose whether or not they wish to touch the animals, but all students get an equal opportunity to gain important knowledge about each animal.
Students walk away from this experience with knowledge of how to handle and care for animals as well as ideas of classifications of animals. Students will also be able to correct false myths about animals important to nature.
