Nature-based classroom kits aligned to NGSS
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s K-12 Education team has created curriculum kits for all grades, educators, and settings! These innovative kits help build science skills while inspiring connections to nature and engaging learners in participatory science.
“My favorite thing about the eBird Explorers Kit is that it is adaptable across all ages, not just K–2. It introduces the fundamental concepts of bird identification in a way that even the littlest kids can begin to grasp. “Crow Not Crow” is a brilliant way for kids to get their feet wet and begin to fall in love with birding, instead of thinking it is too hard. I love it!”
