This Hawk Can Teach Math and Science.

Wondering how to get your students, grades 3 and up, excited about math and science? HawkWatch can help. We have several classroom programs available, based on your core curriculum standards. We also have lesson plans available.

Live bird programs include an audio-visual presentation and the on-the-glove display of a live raptor. Students are allowed time for Q&A.

Raptor Rapture (General audiences) The story of raptors and the scientists who study them is taught through activities and song. This program is appropriate for mixed age-group audiences, library reading clubs, and Cub Scout meetings.

Tracking Birds of Prey(MESA Clubs, Girl Scout Cadettes, Boy Scout groups) Follow the journeys of hawks and eagles through the use of satellite telemetry! Participants use math and science skills to understand the real-life activities of raptors on migration.

What Raptors Teach Us (Middle School and High School Audiences) What good is counting hawks? This program shows how raptors can serve as indicators of ecosystem health. Careers in raptor science are also discussed.

Prices: For single-classroom groups, programs are $75 for the first program and $35 for each additional program, plus mileage at 40 cents per mile for programs outside Salt Lake County city limits.
