Free K-8 Environmental Science Programs

The Raptor Center is offering free environmental science programs for elementary and middle school-aged learners. Our presentations align with academic science standards, and provide students with a live raptor experience that brings them closer to nature. Teachers, outside-school instructors, and community event organizers are encouraged to apply.

Inspire your students with a curiosity for STEM through the wonderful world of raptors! This FREE classroom resource will allow students to gain new perspectives in their scientific view of the world through activities that encourage them to go out and think critically about birds of prey and the world we share with them.

"I, as a veteran science teacher who has seen multiple presentations on raptors, learned a lot. The two-part program allowed students to not only learn about animal behavioral techniques, but also to observe and understand the raptor behavior in a deeper way than could be done in just the first session."

Funding for this project was provided by the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR).
