We are excited to offer live, topical presentations for students, teachers, and out-of-school-time organizations. Each month we will offer a new natural history topic that features engaging information and aligning activities.
Climate Change Series
Throughout 2021, The Nat and Climate Science Alliance are collaborating to offer a series of evening talks and daytime lessons around the impacts of climate change in our region. The live youth programs take place each quarter (March, July, September, and December), and aim to help school age children understand both the problems and the solutions. From pollinators to carnivores, hear the stories that are part of our changing climate.
Learn about the special adaptations the plants in our area need to survive. Find out what it’s like behind the scenes in an herbarium, too. Community Engagement Manager Lauren Marino Perez invites Layla Aerne Hains, collections manager for The Nat’s Botany Department, to discuss the special plants of our region. Join in and learn all about the amazing power of plants.
This 45-minute program will be presented as a Zoom webinar, with live captioning on Facebook Live. Recommended for grade 2 and up, but all are welcome.
RSVPClimate change causes higher temperatures, decreased rainfall, and prolonged drought—all of which contribute to more wildfires. Nature recovers from normal fires, but the increasing frequency and intensity of fires is a problem for our plants and animals. Join us as we look at what this means for local wildlife, and learn more about what we can do.
This 45-minute program is presented as a Zoom webinar and is also streamed on Facebook Live with captioning. The program is free, and open to classrooms or at-home learners. Recommended for grade 2 and up, but all are welcome.
Round out your lesson with these accompanying resources from Climate Science Alliance and The Nat.
