There are nine curriculum unit kits available
for check out. These kits contain materials, equipment and activities
to do a unit on a particular subject.
Track Kit -- Contains 20 different latex
tracks and animal sign to be used to teach about New Hampshire’s
wildlife. Includes activities and overheads to be used with a class.
This is a good supplement to the track activity from Project Wild.
Fur Kit --
The fur kit provides pelts of some common New Hampshire wildlife.
Because many species of wildlife are elusive and difficult to see,
this kit allows students to examine their pelts up close. The furs
are identified with brief natural history information. This is a
good complement to the Track Kit.
Furbearer Fundamentals
-- Furbearers are those mammals that have traditionally been
trapped for their fur. Kit contains pelts, scat, tracks and skulls
of the fourteen furbearers found in the northeast. Suggested interdisciplinary
unit plan, activities, field guides, keys and fact sheets are included
to support the teaching of three sub-themes: natural history of
the furbearers; history of furbearers, including their connection
to the changing landscape and the development of the U.S.; and wildlife
management techniques. For middle school students.
Loon Kit -- The
loon kit has a video and cassette tape about loons and their calls,
as well as a unit outline with reproducible masters. There are two
reference books in each kit.
