Description: PA Songbirds is an environmental education curriculum that uses activities centered around birds of Pennsylvania to allow children to explore English language arts, research math, ecosystems, ecological concepts, and more!
Earn 4.5 Act 48 hours while experiencing hands-on activities related to PA Songbirds that help develop awareness, investigative skills, curiosity, and environmental knowledge.
