Welcome to WILD-LAB, an online educational program created by Audubon Nature Institute funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Teacher's Guide for the Louisiana Wetlands Curriculum for Grades 5 - 7 (intro scripts, questions, GLE's)

The students will go step-by-step through the curriculum watching presentations, doing research, and answering questions and progressing to the next level.
As the students go through the curriculum, they will do so with a "split-screen"…the Top Part of the screen will have the presentations and questions, and the Bottom Part will be the Research Library which they will use to answer the questions. So you see, the program is also designed to teach students how to do effective research.

We estimate that the time it would take for students to complete would require 1 hour a week for 2 months (thus 8 hours), but your feedback will help us figure out the "real" pace for most students.

Your feedback will help us to REFINE and IMPROVE the Louisiana Wetlands curriculum as well as develop future Earth Science curriculums.

If you'd like to try it out yourself, simply click the "Test-Drive the Curriculum" button at the top right.

But I'm sure you have more pressing questions about HOW TO START , HOW STUDENTS BEGIN EACH SESSION, HOW YOU'LL MONITOR PROGRESS, etc. so please CLICK HERE to move on to the next part of our Overview.
