The Lizard Lab

The Lizard Lab is a workshop series targeted for 4th and 5th grade which focuses on reptile conservation in Colorado through a hands-on crafting and gamified approach. Students will craft a physical model of a local reptile (such as a prairie rattlesnake) and then use their models to solve a puzzle about the best habitats for the animal.

 

In solving the puzzle, students will examine how humans can disrupt and help habitat formation and the impact that it has on species survival. The workshop is slated to run for two hours, and the end goal of the workshops is to create an immersive exhibit showcasing what the students worked in the workshops.
