The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has assembled an impressive array of materials for K-12 educators on this informative site. Here readers will find resources divided into three age-based categories, Grades K-3, Grades 4-6, and Grades 7-12. Each category harbors colorful and informative resources designed to spark student interest in caring for animals. For instance, the Career PowerPoint Presentations, a section available under each grade category, provide educators with everything they need to help students understand the possibilities of a career in veterinary science. Each PowerPoint is accompanied by presenter's notes designed to compliment the presentation, and a copy of frequently asked questions from students engaged with the experience of being a veterinarian. Other helpful and free resources include the National Pet Week lesson plans, the Petpourri Activity Pages, and Teacher Guide Lesson Plans, which feature such topics as The Life of a Bovine Veterinarian, Veterinarians Help Animals in Space, and Emergency Care Veterinarian.
