Wisconsin Mammals Education Trunk
A Closer Look at Whooping Cranes provides information about whooping crane ecology and biology, details the story of the whooping crane’s decline and reintroduction, and offers over fourteen hands-on activities for classroom teachers, naturalists, and environmental educators to share with students. The education trunk contains teaching tools such as crane skull, egg, and bone replicas, radio transmitters, and the isolation rearing costumes worn by biologists who raise whooping crane chicks in captivity. A Closer Look at Whooping Cranes was developed for students in grades 4-8, but the activities can be adapted for students school-age through adult.
The whooping crane trunks and activity guides are available for loan to Wisconsin classroom teachers, naturalists, and environmental educators and are available from Wisconsin DNR and other WCEP Partners. Review A Closer Look at Whooping CranesContact Information
