Tiere im Zoo

What does the elephant need its trunk for? Which is the fastest big cat in the world? How smart are monkeys? These and similar questions about "Animals in the Zoo" engage elementary school children in both urban and rural areas. In science classes, students are encouraged to explore the answers to such questions on their own, even if they often cannot experience the animals "live." This book provides teaching tips and worksheets for the most important zoo animals that inspire students to engage in discovery-based learning. The templates include age-appropriate research assignments, allowing students to learn how to effectively gather information on a specific topic and utilize it for their own benefit. The teaching tips and materials are aligned with the volumes of the "My Great Animal Library" series from Esslinger Verlag but can also be optimally combined with other non-fiction books.
