Wild Kingdom - This companion
website to Mutual of Omaha's wildlife documentary series features
games, activities and fun facts for kids and lesson plans for teachers,
video clips from episodes and information about conservation and
vanishing wildlife. This TV season the program will premier on the
Animal Planet in six original hour-long specials. Each special will
focus on a specific animal or habitat, covering six continents with
environs ranging from deserts below sea level in Africa to sub-freezing
escarpments 16,000 feet high in the Himalayas.
Classroom Integration
- View the video
clips when studying different species of wildlife in their
natural habitat. Assign a video clip to each student and have
them take notes present interesting facts they learned.
- Involving students in ways to use the Earth's resources responsibly
can be the beginning of a lifelong interest for them. Have students
participate in a poll at the American
Zoo and Aquarium Association website. Have your students design
a environmental poll for other classes, the results can be tallied,
graphed and published.
