Exciting lessons

The ZooSchool offers expeditions individually designd for schools. Teachers will be supported by the ZooSchool team to make exciting biology or interdisciplinary lessons happen. Animal contacts are made, background knowledge is imparted, worksheets, binoculars and magnifying glasses are available.

Lessons (between 1 and 1.5 hours) as well as a guided tour of the zoo (approx. 1 hour) can be booked. A combination of both is also possible. A creative session with different materials (approx. 30 minutes) can on request be part of the offer.
