Introduction to the K-2 STEM Enhancement Toolkits
Welcome to the “Into the Jungle” STEM Toolkits
As a biologists, science communicators, and educational technology experts, the founders of Inspire EdVentures (IE) have spent their careers teaching about the wonders of the natural world—and helping others do the same. We formed IE to develop innovative experiences for learners of all ages. That’s why we are excited to welcome you to our Into the Jungle STEM Enhancement toolkits.
Each toolkit is designed by our team of scientists and educators to support flexible teaching. It has then been reviewed by teachers just like youself. We created these toolkits to empower educators, like you, with engaging, inspirational activities that spark curiosity and connect students with real-world science and the importance of biodiversity education. Whether you’re leading a hands-on classroom investigation or inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards, these guides were designed high-quality science instruction easier, more accessible, and more fun.
Please note that these toolkits are designed to provide you with resources for your classroom. They do not need to taught in the order presented. In fact, many teachers may simply use the contents of the module as needed. For example, the toolkit may serve as a reference page to get a great videos on jaguars, or content for a reading exercise, or talking points to engage the class. However, you can always use our format as a lesson plan for instruction on wildlife education. It’s your choice.
We will be releasing new content for the K-2 and Grades 3-5 levels over the next few months. For now, we invite you to explore our first module “ Into the Jungle! Jaguars”, which is based on our work in Belize and with our partners at the Belize Zoo.
We believe that inspiration leads to learning, and learning fuels the desire to care for and conserve our planet. Thank you for joining us on that mission.
