Learn about the greater impact of wildlife patients at the Wildlife Center of Virginia. Every patient is offered state-of-the-art veterinary medical care; some are treated and released, while others may be too seriously injured to recover. Every single animal has a story to share, a story that illustrates the wider problems wildlife face—litter, pesticides, free-roaming domestic animals, habitat loss, and diseases. Even patients that don’t make it live on by helping us shape our conservation education and research as we challenge people of all ages to take action to protect wildlife.

Make your own miniature greenhouse and measure the light levels at different "times of day"--modeled by changing the angle of a lamp on the greenhouse--using a light sensor. Next, investigate the temperature in your greenhouse with and without a cover. Learn how a greenhouse works and how you can regulate the temperature in your model greenhouse.

Students will analyze groups of items and compare and contrast the attributes that led to the development of a group like living or nonliving and subsets like animals and plants. When categorizing attributes students must make observations of patterns, similarities, and differences in physical properties to further divide the group into subsets. In computer science, actions can be classified as algorithms. Students will use a dichotomous key to classify and place organisms into specific subsets within a pond ecosystem based on their physical attributes.
