There are 19 different raptors in our program. Teachers can request birds which typify certain issues such as endangered species or long distance migration, or birds with particular injuries which illustrate some of the dangers that threaten wildlife such as electrocution and human-imprinting. Hawks Aloft, Inc. is initiating our new, multi-visit classroom program. Multiple visits to each classroom, with different raptors each session addressing a succession of topics. Students and teachers develop theories about a habitat enhancement project.
Students learn and use scientific data collection techniques to monitor project results.
Inc. Hawks Aloft staff post results of all projects on our website. Students compare their project results with other schools via the Internet. The Single Visit Program Hawks Aloft offers age-specific single visit programs for students and adults of all ages throughout New Mexico. The content of the presentation is designed to match teacher and curriculum needs. Our goal is to provide a hands-on learning experience.
