New Topic: Vulture EdVenture with the NC Zoo
The Museum teamed up with the NC Zoo to learn all about nature’s clean-up crew — vultures! Practice creative writing by turning vulture observations into a concrete poem and design paper vultures (airplanes) to see how far they can glide. Explore and model the vulture’s all-important role in the ecosystem. Additionally, check out a second new topic — Citizen Science Adventure: Project Squirrel.
