April's newsletter takes a closer look at the largest land mammals on Earth, the elephants. These gray giants possess iconic strength and yet the elephants' gentle nature forms one of the most stable and peaceful family bonds in the animal kingdom. From educational readings to inquiry-based activities, this edition of Land, Sea & Air will provide elephant-sized portions of educational tools for the classroom.

Engage your students through exploration, discovery, discussion and meaningful construction of scientific concepts and relationships through these hands-on, inquiry-based activities.

Why do elephants throw dirt on their backs? Why do elephants have over 100,000 muscles and tendons in their trunks? For the answers to these and other "why in the world" elephant questions, check out the references below.
