SUMMARY:Science Detectives: Fossils - Windows into the Past
DESCRIPTION:Join us for classes designed especially for homeschool and track-out students. These 60-minute classes allow us to delve deeper into topics and incorporate additional learning experiences. \nGive your students a unique opportunity to study fossil specimens from North Carolina and elsewhere. Students examine fossils to learn how they form and how fossils tell us about the past. Students also explore how we know the age of fossils and how a geologic map can help with fossil dating and identification. \nParticipants must be 11 years of age or older for this program. \nREGISTER NOW!\nRegistration ends 48 hours prior to program start time. \nFor more information contact Missy Chernick.

SUMMARY:Science Detectives: Nature's Design
DESCRIPTION:Join us for classes designed especially for homeschool and track-out students. These 60-minute classes allow us to delve deeper into topics and incorporate additional learning experiences. \nDuring this class we will explore the many strategies that nature uses to build structures; from ridged scallop shells and circular owl eggs to intricate bird nests and air-conditioned termite mounds. We will learn how humans have either copied some of these design secrets or have been inspired to create our own structures like bridges\, houses and even outdoor clothing. \nParticipants must be 8-10 years old for this program. \nREGISTER NOW!\nRegistration ends 48 hours prior to program start time. \nFor more information contact Missy Chernick.

SUMMARY:Science Detectives: Legends of the Briny Deep
DESCRIPTION:Join us for classes designed especially for homeschool and track-out students. These 60-minute classes allow us to delve deeper into topics and incorporate additional learning experiences. \nAhoy Mateys! Join the Crew of the Flying Dutchman and discover the science behind the legends of the briny deep. Uncover the terrifying kraken and face off against a shark with the face of a goblin. Chase down the great white whale and escape the clutches of the fearsome sea serpent. Using hands-on activities\, specimens and our own pirate daring\, we’ll reveal the real-life animals that inspired the myths of Davy Jones’ Locker. \nParticipants must be 5-7 years old for this program. \nREGISTER NOW!\nRegistration ends 48 hours prior to program start time. \nFor more information contact Missy Chernick.

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Discovery: Battle for Species Survival in the Coastal Plain
DESCRIPTION:A Threat to Native Crayfish in North and South Carolina\nDr. Bronwyn Williams\, Research Curator\, Non-Molluscan Invertebrates\, North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences\nDr. Michael Kendrick\, Assistant Marine Scientist\, Crustacean Research and Monitoring Section\, SCDNR Marine Resources Research Institute \nThe southeastern United States is a global hotspot for crayfish diversity. Among the most diverse groups of crayfishes in this region is the genus Procambarus\, with 16 and seven species native to South Carolina and North Carolina\, respectively. Yet\, Procambarus species in the Carolinas are also among the most data deficient\, and therefore enigmatic\, in part due to a complex taxonomic history. Ironically\, these species are facing a serious conservation threat from a non-native counterpart\, the Red Swamp Crayfish\, Procambarus clarkii. Our collaboration couples extensive field surveys with genetic and morphological analyses to understand the diversity of native crayfishes\, the recent spread of the invasive crayfish\, and the impacts of the invader on native species. \nJoin us on YouTube!\n\nLive Virtual Presentation hosted by NC Museum of Natural Sciences’ SECU Daily Planet Curator Chris Smith and the NC Department of Environmental Quality Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs staff. \nYou can post questions in the YouTube chat or tweet questions to #LunchTimeDiscovery and mention @NorthCarolinaEE. \nBrought to you by the NC DEQ Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs and the NC Museum of Natural Sciences.
