Live from Behind the Scenes: Turtle Check-Up at Shedd

Join us for a preventive animal examination of a turtle in Shedd’s state-of-the-art animal hospital during a synchronous virtual field trip experience. Students observe alongside Shedd’s veterinary staff as they interpret X-rays, vital signs and behavior to assess an animal’s health. Students can ask members of our veterinary team questions and hear about the unique challenges that come with caring for such diverse animals. Pre and post-trip asynchronous lessons are also provided.

This program is offered at the following levels:

Grades 3-5
Grades 6-8
