Extractions: by Esther Perlman, Grade 2, Gladwyne Elementary School, Gladwyne, PA Each year, Esther Perlman's second graders learn about endangered animals. Over the past decade, her students have studied the brown bear, panda, mountain gorilla, tigers, rhinoceros, elephants, bald eagle, and whales. In 1997, her class studied alligators. Perlman's endangered species unit includes student research, zoo visits, and culminates with whole class and individual writing and art projects. Her students also become teachers by presenting what they have learned to their families. This exciting project gets the whole school community involved, including the Art teacher and class parents. Most significant, is the opportunity for Perlman's students to reach out to the larger community by presenting their model to the zoo, the NFL Eagles, and a homeless shelter. Projects like these stay with your students long after they have moved on from your classroom. They require careful planning and coordination, and Esther Perlman has provided the " Sequence of Events " for her unit of study and " Construction Aspects " to help you get started.

Extractions: Dan Beuttner, an explorer who is currently leading an Amazon trek in Peru, combines his passion for exploration and his love for the Internet by using technology to link ongoing expeditions to thousands of classrooms. In the past three weeks he has connected the Peruvian Amazon with children across the United States. Amazon Quest expedition leader Dan Beuttner conducts a live interview from the banks of the Ucayali river in Peru. "These quests are very much built on the notion that there are lots of people who would love to do these adventures," said Beuttner. "Our goal is to use technology not only to put people in the driver's seat but to put them in position where they can make real discoveries and indeed direct an expedition thousands of miles away," said Beuttner. The Amazon expedition, called Amazon Quest, is just one of several organized by Beuttner.
Elephants Teach Socialization parents or their elders there to keep them in line or teach them how to They had endangered animals in the park being attacked by these out of control elephants http://www.ronnieuggie.com/pachy.htm
Extractions: I was watching PBS the other night...at about 3 or 4am, and there was a program on about some elephants in Africa. I thought it was interesting and I wanted to tell you about it. About 20 years ago there was a large population increase in the elephants in one particular preserve and they were beginning to outgrow their food supply...that is a big problem...anything concerning elephants is big, but they do eat an enormous amount! The rangers and others, like the government officials and even the preserve veterinarian decided that the most humane thing to do was to kill off the older elephants to preserve the younger generation...and that is what they did!! (I'm horrified here...) They did this because at that time they did not have the means to transport numerous giant elephants and the babies were more "portable." So they went in with helicopters and began killing the adult elephants. When they were done, they rounded up all of the orphan baby elephants and arranged them into groups of so many males and females per group and sent them off to various other preserves... Everything seemed to have worked just fine. The baby elephants adapted to life without their parents and other family members, and there was no more problem with the food supply. Also, since the elephants were all babies and youngsters, they would not begin to reproduce for some time yet and the food supply could replenish itself by the time it would be needed for a new crop of baby elephants. They thought everything had worked according to plan....
