Loan Kits
    Need help teaching tough topics in science?  Take advantage of Brandywine Zoo's Loan Kit Program.  The loan kits provide a simple curiculum that you can follow with your class and are available for 2 week periods.  Teachers must complete an inservice orientation before borrowing the kit.
Suitcase for Survival
    This kit, which includes slides, slide script, text, activities and confiscated artifacts, demonstrates the impact of wildlife trade on the delicate balance of natural ecosystems. It was developed by the World Wildlife Fund.

Zoo Careers

    Zoos aren't just for zoo keepers any more.  Zoos employ a wide variety of people in animal careers, business, horticulture, and education.  Help your class explore these interesting options.  This kit includes video, fact sheets, activities, bulletin board materials, and some tools that animal keepers use in their jobs.

Fees and Registration

    Free with a $25 deposit.  For more information call (302) 571-7850 Ext. 208
Teachers are asked to pick up and drop off kits from the Brandywine Zoo Education Building.  If the kits need to be shipped, teachers will be responsible for all UPS costs. Contact Jill or Barbara.
