Animal Behaviour Workshop

To get the most out of the Animal Behaviour Workshop at the Zoo, we suggest studying the following aspects at school before the visit: 

To understand the students’ interests and increase motivation about the animals: 

• Put a box in the classroom where students can place the questions they may have at any time and later study them.
• Collect photographs, magazine articles, cards, worksheets and other materials about animal behaviour that the students can obtain. 
• Bring in videos, CDs or other materials on electronic supports about this subject.

To observe animals: 

• Ask students who have a pet and vertebrate to prepare, individually or in groups, an explanation about its behaviour during the reproduction period to present to their classmates with the help of photographs or the animal itself. 
  

As specific objectives: 

• Present the idea of animal behaviour and identify the most common types of behaviour.
• Innate and learned behaviour.
