Zookeeper DutiesBefore the visit

I thought zookeepers…

• I think that they feed all the animals.

• I think that they have to clean out the cages.

• I think that they play games with them.

• I also think that they make them better when they are sick.

After the visit I learned zookeepers…

• I learned that zookeepers never touch any of the bigger animals.

• I learned that the zoo we went to has a little over 800 animals and only 8 full time zoo keepers.

• I also learned that they work 365 days a year.

Zoo Visit Reflection

• I was most surprised by how many days they work a year.

• I not like a zoo related career because I don’t like cleaning up after animals.

• My favorite part of the zoo visit was going around and seeing all the animals and getting to pet them.

Construction Camp

What I did at Architecture/Construction Camp

• At construction camp I learned how to screw dry wall to the wall. I also learned how they use GPS with construction. At camp we got to see how they create 3-dimensional images and I learned about all the careers that they have in construction.

Architecture/Construction Camp Reflection

• I was surprised by how many jobs are offered for construction.

• My favorite activity at camp was getting to do the hands on work because it was fun to learn how they use all the tools and what they use them for.

• I would not like to pursue a career in the Architecture/Construction related cluster because I wasn’t that interested in it when we were there is isn't something I could picture myself doing for the rest of my life.
