Teaching about animal biology and physiology can be an engaging lesson for young students. And the best way to get up close and personal (without getting bit, that is) is using replicas<\/a>.\u00a0 Replica parts are ideal for classroom lessons for a number of reasons including allowing children to touch and feel to get an in-depth look at the animals in the wild while avoiding allergens and hazardous situations that could otherwise jeopardize students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nature Watch offers a selection of replica teaching tools that mimic real-life such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top Animal Replicas for the Classroom:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1 – Skulls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Skulls are universally fascinating. Aside from their macabre appearance, they can say a great deal about the evolution of a creature.\u00a0As an organization that caters to the needs of educators, we carry a number of small scale and life-sized anatomically-perfect replica and replica parts for birds and animals including Tiger<\/a>, Meercat<\/a>, Panda<\/a>, Bald eagle<\/a>, Polar bear<\/a>, Toucan<\/a>, Rattlesnake<\/a>, and Bat<\/a> to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 – Snakes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“Beautiful and dangerous” is a good way to describe snakes.  Kids love them because of their unusual mode of locomotion, and their many ways of killing prey – but you don’t want them handling most real snakes in the classroom. Fortunately, there are excellent replicas available, such as of the Amazon Tree Boa<\/a> or the Kingsnake<\/a>, allowing kids to interact with models of the real thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 – Poisonous plants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So how do you teach about recognizing and avoiding hazardous plants without putting your students at risk?  With highly detailed vinyl replicas of course.  Nature Watch carries a four-piece toxic plant replica set<\/a> which is ideal if you are taking students or scouts into the woods, or teaching wilderness survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 \u2013 Claws and Paws<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tracking wildlife relies a lot on identifying an animal’s feet, claws, or pawprints. Nature Watch specializes in replicas of birds, rodents, small-medium sized wildlife and more. Extremities of animals including Opossum paws<\/a>, Falcon talons<\/a>, Raccoon paws<\/a>, Wolf paws<\/a>, and Bald eagle talons<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
