Follow those Tracks! Take an Animal Tracks Quiz

Animal track and footprint studies are great opportunities to practice inquiry and observation skills in children as young as preschool and as old as high school. Little ones enjoy trying to identify the tracks, while older children can learn what the track tells us about the animal who made it, as in the quiz, above.

Check out these links for some additional activities and units of study, built around animal tracks and footprints. Also check out How to Teach Everything Through Nature: Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo, to see how we incorporated a study of animal footprints into follow-up activities after our trip to the zoo.
