Kindness Kit #5: Caring for Animals
THe following object lessons are designed to help your children learn to care for animals.
Lesson #1: Zoom Session with The International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council.
One way to help encourage empathy and compassion toward animals is to educate children about a wide variety of animals, their needs, and ways we can help when animal habitats or health have been threatened or lost.
Join us for a Zoom Lesson from a representative from The International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council. She educated the children about Australian animals and the IWRC’s efforts to help animals in Australia following the fires. Kids had the opportunity to participate in the live call and ask questions. Watch the lesson below!
Lesson #2: What Animals Need to Survive
The website Science Buddies has a great lesson plan for teaching children about animal basic needs and caring for animals. Find that lesson plan and free materials here!
They also have many other animal-focused science projects, so feel free to browse and do them at your leisure.
