Audubon Adventures
Our chapter furnishes Audubon Adventures, a nature/science teaching supplement to elementary classrooms in Springfield
and southwest Missouri. Audubon Adventures is an environmental curriculum geared toward grades 3-5.
Each teacher receives a kit with three units they can use at their discretion throughout the year. Each kit includes 32 interactive
newspapers for each subject, a teacher's manual with activities, duplicating masters and research materials.
This year's Audubon Adventures focus is Wildlife On The Move
covering 4 migration topics:
- On the wing: Migratory Birds
- Incredible Insect Journey
- Water Riders: Whales and Sea Turtles
- Action for Planet Earth - How Kids Can Contribute to Community Conservation Projects
Audubon invites elementary school teachers around the country to engage students' curiosity about the natural world by bringing science to life in the classroom with Audubon Adventures.
Each issue is full of facts, activities, and action tips that connect nature with science, reading, and art, and also inspire and empower kids to care for nature in their daily lives.
This program is funded by our spring Birdathon,
and through directed contributions made at our fall bird seed sale. We feel it is a worthwhile educational service to
our youth and teachers in our region. If you would like to sponsor a classroom for a special child or teacher, the $45.65 per classroom is tax deductible.
GOAS volunteers
are available to provide guidance and visits to classrooms with
a variety of programs. Participating teachers receive a free years' membership in the National Audubon Society. If you would like to learn more about Audubon Adventures, or
wish to sponsor a classroom, contact GOAS Myra Scroggs.
