Educational and Interactive Programs
Discover the World of Reptiles!

Science is becoming a greater part of everyday life. The general public needs to be able to understand concepts in science to make decisions in their daily lives. Those responsible for writing science curriculum guidelines recognize this fact and set objectives and standards in science curricula throughout North America with a focus on producing scientifically literate students. Teachers are required to meet these objectives and expose students to a diversity of experiences. Instruction in the classroom is focusing more on investigation, exploration, observation, and experimentation with an emphasis on hands-on interactive teaching methods.

Reptilia also recognizes the need for a better knowledge of science. Our educational programs are hands on investigations of reptiles and amphibians and how they relate to the world in which they live. There are over 10,000 species of Reptiles and Amphibians in the world and the number of newly described species increases every day. These animals live in almost every biotic region on Earth and are extremely successful. Along with this incredible amount of diversity comes a bewildering world of biological wonders just waiting to be discovered by a young, inquisitive mind. Reptilia can reveal that world to your students. We teach students about themselves and the world around them using fascinating animals that will hold their attention and keep them interested in learning.

The educational programs that Reptilia will provide for your students are tightly linked to the science and technology curriculum. Our presentations introduce and reinforce the concepts that students are learning in class.  

We use a multidisciplinary approach which touches on concepts learned in one or more of the major strands of science and technology outlined in the curriculum. In doing so, we can teach students how these strands of science and technology relate to each other and the ways in which their new found knowledge can be applied to the world outside the classroom. The dynamic and captivating reptiles and amphibians we bring into your classroom will increase your students’ interest in learning; thereby, increasing the richness of their educational experience.
