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:Lunchtime Discovery: A Look Behind the Camera
DESCRIPTION:Covering Climate Change on Broadcast Television\nElisa Raffa\, Meteorologist and Climate Specialist at Queen City News/ FOX Charlotte\, STEM Experience Specialist at Discovery Place Science \nElisa Raffa is a broadcast meteorologist and climate specialist at Queen City News/ FOX Charlotte. With a passion for communicating climate change\, she’s earned national and international recognition for using everything from beer\, chocolate\, snow shovels and vultures to help viewers relate to the climate crisis. When she’s not on-air\, you’ll find her at Discovery Place Science in Uptown Charlotte. As a STEM specialist on staff\, she writes lessons and tests hands-on activities in weather and climate science for kids of all ages. While climate communication and education are her biggest passions and drivers in her career\, they don’t come without challenges. Come chat about how gender and politics play into navigating misinformation on-air\, and how a small role on museum staff can make the biggest difference in our future. \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.
