The following lessons were designed to fit the Natrona County School District # 1 essential curriculum standards as of May 2012. Natrona County is located in central Wyoming. Lessons were created with the Werner Wildlife Museum’s exhibits in mind so that teachers and visitors could work outside of the museum to enhance learning and follow-up with museum visits. The Werner Wildlife Museum is located in Casper, Wyoming.
Explanation of State Standard Codes: (ST) 8.1.2.C
Unless otherwise noted, Melissa Stahley-Cummings, Casper College Museum Curriculum Specialist, wrote the lesson plans. For questions or comments, contact her at cummings@caspercollege.edu
