Educational Resources
This opportunity is available to all educators and their classes using Museum and other natural history resources that we have on-hand in our mandated isolation. We will have the museum as a backdrop for our videos. Below is a list of topics we have thought of so far. Many have two titles, one for younger audiences and the other for older. Each tour will be tailored to a specific audience and we're happy to make a tour based on a topic of your suggestion. More grade level specific content will be added in the next month.
- Skulls and teeth/Comparative anatomy
- The similarities and differences of related species/Biogeography
- Creeking/Aquatic ecology
- Up close with arthropods
- Characteristics and Traits of Organisms/ Adaptations/Anatomy physiology
- Needs of Living Things/Homeostasis
- Interdependence of Living things/food webs/ecology
- Life cycles
- Evolution
- Snakes
