Most people think of being a zoo keeper when they consider a career at a zoo.
However, there are many other jobs at the zoo that do not directly involve animals. Your students will discover that there is a lot more to running a zoo than meets the visitor's eye. One session lasting 40 minutes. Students will discover the things that animals need to survive as they design their own zoo exhibits. This class is a two part series with the first part focusing on the history of the exhibits at the Columbus Zoo, and the second part centering on the projects your students create.
