Zam's Quest is a unique standards-based curriculum for 5th and 6th grade students that engages, empowers and activates kids to learn about nature and take action to address local conservation issues.

Using the time-tested, role play technique, students are able to: understand different points of view in a conservation issue, successfully analyze an issue and discuss solutions, understand the complexity of today's problems, and personally take action on a local conservation dilemma.

The Zam's Quest Web site extends the curriculum by offering multimedia resources, experts' blogs from the field, a Comic Book Maker that lets kids create and share their own stories and solutions for conservation issues, and much more.
