About the kit

With colleagues from the CU Museum of Natural History, we received a CU Boulder Outreach Award that has allowed us to design an entirely new curriculum kit for 4th grade classrooms called Adaptation and Variation in Colorado Mammals. We are proud to announce that the kit and its curriculum has been adopted by the Boulder Valley School District, and was used in 26 classrooms at 9 schools in 2017-18 (~650 students), and will be used in over 80 classrooms around the district in the 2018-19 school year. Additionally, we distributed the kits to 17 rural, and underserved districts around the state in conjunction with professional development workshops for teachers in those areas.
