1 Activity Summary Exhibit Hall Scavenger Hunt Students will go on an indoor scavenger hunt to find a variety of wildlife in the nature center. Your students can complete either the scavenger hunt or the questionnaire. Objectives Identify a variety wildlife Make observations and describe features of wildlife. Become familiar with the study area, the nature center exhibit hall. Materials * List of items to find * Field guides you can request these in advance on birds, fish, reptiles, or waterfowl * Pencil Procedure 1. Introduce the activity by showing examples of things that could be found in the lobby area alone, that might be on the list. Explain to them about finding items: that it must be done themselves, and they cannot ask a staff member for help. 2. Divide the students into groups of 2 to Provide them with a list of the assigned items, pencils, and guides if to be used. 4. Establish the area to be investigated. For large groups of 50 or more, you may want to divide them into 3 groups, have one in the lobby aquarium room, and two in the back exhibit hall to keep the numbers small, and then assign them a set time to spend, and then switch. Make sure enough adults are on hand to adequately monitor the groups as they hunt. If you have a small group you can send them to the entire area together. 5. Determine a length of time during which they will be hunting, for their items. Remind them to keep track of what they find and where they find it by recording it in on their paper with a detailed description. 6. After the hunt is over, ask the students to come together and share what they have found with the other students Younger Students This can be done with younger students as well. With the help of a couple of adults, establish groups of 5 10 students and have the adults read the clues and help them look for items on the list as you go through the exhibit hall.
2 Exhibit Hall Scavenger Hunt List Instructions: As you find an item on the list, describe the item and its location. YOU DO NOT NEED TO TRY TO COLLECT THE ITEM. Simply describe it and where it was located. Keep in mind ALL of these items can be found in the lobby, exhibit hall (aquarium room and large oak tree room at the back), or in the hall by the drinking fountain and restrooms. Some may be live animals, some may be taxidermy mounts, some may be replicas, and some may be on exhibit panels or the mural in the back of the exhibit hall. Then check the item off of your list and continue the hunt. Keep in mind you probably won t find all of the items, and that is okay.
