What’s in the Unit?

At Zoobitat.org, we believe every child can grow into a Nature Hero! That’s why we’ve created this FREE, four-module curriculum designed for children ages 4–10. Through hands-on exploration, STEM-based activities, and creative storytelling, kids will learn about the wonders of wildlife and how we can all take action to protect it.

Each module focuses on a different theme, blending NGSS-aligned science concepts with key conservation principles. Younger learners discover through play, coloring, and simple observation, while older students dive into inquiry, problem-solving, and projects.

Along the way, children will:

  • Explore habitats and biodiversity.

  • Understand how human actions affect wildlife.

  • Practice solutions like recycling, planting, and community clean-ups.

  • Build pride in their role as protectors of the planet.

The program includes:

  • Detailed Teacher Guides, with suggested lesson plans for each module

  • Engaging short videos (~1–4 minutes) with our ZoobiRanger animated characters

  • Printable worksheets, journals, and cut-out materials

  • Interactive activities designed for classrooms, families, and homeschoolers.

Curriculum Overview:

  • Module 1 — Habitats & Needs of Living Things

  • Module 2 — Wildlife Diversity & Connections

  • Module 3 — Environment Changes & Conservation

  • Module 4 — Taking Action — Be a Nature Hero!

    • NOTE: The curriculum is divided into the above 4 modules, which can be utilized at the teacher’s discretion. Each module has content for a week’s worth of activity and learning.

By the end of the four modules, kids won’t just know why nature matters — they’ll see that their actions can make a difference. With the knowledge they gain, they’ll be ready to step into their communities as the Zoobitat Nature Heroes of tomorrow!

STEM & NGSS Alignment

This curriculum connects directly to the STEM and Next Generation Science Standards (K–5). Core ideas include organisms’ needs and habitats, biodiversity, and human impacts on Earth’s systems — always paired with age-appropriate solutions. Crosscutting concepts such as Patterns, Cause & Effect, and Systems are woven throughout, while science practices like observing, modeling, and communicating are emphasized. Each module builds progressively, from K-LS1 and K-ESS3 (basic needs and care for the environment) through 2-LS4 (habitats and diversity) to 3–5-ESS3 (community action for conservation).
