 Project WILD and Aquatic WILD are state-sponsored, national programs
 of wildlife and aquatic wildlife related activities for teachers to
 use in conjunction with their current curriculum.  The activities,
 which correlated to the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks, cover
 many subject areas.  They are "hands-on" and are easily integrated
 into units on adaptations, endangered species, life cycles, senses,
 seasons, classification, migration, animal behavior and ecosystems. 
 These fun and engaging activities are designed to supplement and
 enhance a teacher's current curriculum.  
 
 Participants will receive two Activity Guides with over 150 new
 activities and can receive 8 to 12 hours toward professional
 development after completing the workshop requirements.  The workshop
 will take place both indoors and outdoors so please dress
 appropriately.  Morning refreshments will be provided, please bring a
 lunch.  If you enjoyed Project WET or Project Learning Tree you will
 love Project WILD and Aquatic WILD!
