eMammal Academy Curriculum
Here we have curricula developed by educators from North Carolina, Florida, Virginia, and DC. Each curriculum is specific to their standards in the grade-level classes that deal with ecology, wildlife, habitat and adaptations. We currently provide middle and high school curricula. For all ages, we have videos explaining basic ecology and science concepts and how to use eMammal as an educational tool. If you have developed your own curriculum for using eMammal data and would be willing to share your work, then please contact eMammal staff about listing your materials at this site.
You can also help us by getting involved with Zooniverse!
