New Topic: Vulture EdVenture with the NC Zoo<\/h3>\n

The Museum teamed up with the NC Zoo to learn all about nature’s clean-up crew \u2014 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 \u2014 Citizen Science Adventure: Project Squirrel.<\/p>\n
