Educator Preview Events
At the Wild Animal Park
Sunday, October 26
Details available soon.
At the San Diego Zoo
Wednesday, November 5, 4–7:45 p.m.
The Zoo's annual event for educators is going to be grossly entertaining in 2008! This year the focus is on life science studies that fall in the gross category. Things that smell, look, and feel disgusting fascinate students of every age. The bus trip, the music, the show, and the learning stations will provide educators with insights about how to weave some fun "grossness" into the curriculum. You'll be happy to know that we refrained from serving a gross dinner and you can expect the same high-end catered food that our Zoo chef has provided in years past. Get ready for an evening to remember!
