Next of Kin - A Compassionate, Interdisciplinary Science Curriculum
Elementary - Grades 2 - 5
The elementary level "Next of Kin" curriculum is an interdisciplinary
science curriculum with interactive and engaging lessons for 2nd - 5th
grade students.
The curriculum is written and organized to present integrated concepts
focusing on free-living and captive chimpanzees as well as issues regarding
animal experimentation. The activities are designed to promote awareness,
attitudes, and actions to solve the problems that not only chimpanzees,
but all animals, are faced with, whether living in captivity or living
endangered in their natural environments.
This unique and comprehensive curriculum can be ordered
through the Chimporium gift shop. A printed version of the curriculum
is available for $39.95, or a PDF version on CD-ROM is available
for $14.95, both plus shipping costs. Please allow 2-3
