3rd grade students from Avon Heritage South discussed the various ways that they can hunt and protect themselves out in the wild. Using Ohio’s wildlife the Lorain County Metro Parks French Creek Nature Center showed examples of camouflage and hunting techniques. The Catch me if you can program demonstrated how animals are hunted and they various ways that they protect themselves. Leslie our naturalist used images, live animals and video clips to interact with the students.
The program started with the students identifying animals that are predators, prey and animals that are both. The students did a great job classifying the animals shown and had great questions for Leslie about the animals behavior.
The Lorain County Metro Parks is the Lorain County Distance Learning Consortium’s (LCDLC) newest content provider which offers programs to grades K-12.
