Traveling Nature Trunks

These themed, environmental resource kits can be borrowed for use in the classroom to enhance any curriculum. They are loaned free of charge to educators in the Tri-state region. A returnable deposit of $25 is required to borrow a Trunk. Nature Trunks may be kept on loan for up to two weeks.

Trunk materials and activities can be used to satisfy Indiana Academic Standards. Each Trunk is designed to encompass multiple age levels, so activities can be picked to fit the needs of individual students. They also make great pre- or post- studies for field trips taken at any of the WNS properties.

A typical Trunk might include: field guides, informational books, storybooks, posters, videos, specimens, models, puppets, craft ideas, nets, magnifying glasses, bug boxes, teacher’s resource guides, reproducible worksheets, lesson plans, picture files, puzzles, games, coloring pages and MORE…
