Experience the world of dinosaurs! Discover their lives, diets, and adaptations through interactive presentations. Meet real fossilized specimens and marvel at their bones, horns, claws, teeth, and skin. Learn what makes dinosaurs incredible!

Investigate tectonic plates, natural disasters, weathering and erosion in this interactive, fast-paced trip of geologic proportions through the Earth’s crust. Volcanoes, earthquakes, and landslides, oh my! Beneath the surface of our ever-changing, dynamic planet, hidden dangers lurk deep within. In this presentation, students will examine tectonic plates and discover the chaos they can create when seismic shifts occur; investigate how the landscape transforms through weathering and erosion; and see how the layers of the Earth stack up. Explore the moving Earth beneath our feet as we traverse the Earth’s crust!

Students have the opportunity to play paleontologist, as they sift through fossilized sediment to find shark teeth, shells and more! Learn about the many kinds of fossils there are, how they are made, and what various fossil types can tell us about ancient life, while preparing to embark on a mini fossil dig. Next, analyze and compare findings to a fossil identification guide, using the scientific process to determine the origin of fossils uncovered. This interactive, hands-on, inquiry based lab presentation is great for grades 2nd and up, and a wonderful reinforcement for TEKS earth science objectives. Book this program, and see what it’s like to be a paleontologist for a day!

Water is always on the move—find out how it transforms while exploring each fascinating stage of the water cycle! From oceans to bayous, uncover the secrets of where water comes from and where it is going, as well as why it’s so important to keep our water clean. Students will explore evaporation and condensation through interactive demonstrations, and see examples of precipitation, runoff, and groundwater using watershed models. Through the lens of Hurricane Harvey, students will learn about the impact of hurricanes on our watershed and how our city is preparing for the future. Discover the amazing water cycle and learn how human actions affect our water supply when you book this program!

Join the Renewable Revolution! From solar to wind, and hydroelectric to geothermal, alternative energy use is on the rise worldwide. Discover how alternative forms of energy are generated, stored, and used as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each. In this interactive, demonstration-based presentation, students will examine how we utilize green energy to power our world and see why the resources which produce this energy are limited. Watch examples of alternative energy in action, and learn about new innovations leading us to a cleaner world!
