Would
you like to take your class on a field trip to study and observe
the manatee, an endangered aquatic mammal that lives in Florida?
You may not be able to physically go, but the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission is sponsoring a FREE electronic
field trip, eFieldTrip, that your class can participate in.
During
the school year, the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission will offer schools nationwide the
opportunity to participate in an eFieldTrip titled, "The
Manatee: A Florida Treasure.” The trip is designed to help
students learn about this endangered species, its habitat and
efforts to protect it.
The
eFieldTrip has two components -
1. An
interactive multi-media web experience that your students can
complete at their own pace.
2. An
e-mail question and answer session that allows your students to
e-mail questions to the experts and receive answers via e-mail
within 2 days.
What do you
need to participate? If you have access to the Internet at your
school or in your classroom, you can participate! The students
access the eFieldTrip using a web browser such as Internet
Explorer of Netscape Navigator.
There is no
cost for your school or students to participate. This program is
offered free as an educational outreach opportunity by the Florida
Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
For more
information, or to register your school to participate, please go

We look
forward to having you join us as we learn about this Florida
treasure!
