An activity specifically produced for early elementary students, but of interest to all ages.

Mammal Skulls of the Arctic Refuge*

Print out and make 10 life-size skulls of mammals living in the Refuge.

A Caribou Year*

Study materials for use with "A caribou year" web pages located in the Wildlife section of this web site.

Mapping the Caribou's Range*

These ArcView files can be downloaded, unzipped, and used by students to study the Porcupine Caribou herd's area.

Alaska Migratory Bird Calendar Contest:

Alaska school children submit posters and literature to the Alaska Migratory Bird Calendar Contest.


* These activities were created for "Caribou Mysteries," an education partnership between the Arctic Refuge and the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District which was generously funded by the Toyota USA Foundation.
