Discover Our Programs
Rainforests
Reptiles and Amphibians
From lizards to snakes, and frogs to salamanders, discover these animals’ natural history from prehistoric times to the present day!
Through hands-on teaching using live specimens, students will explore how reptiles and amphibians have evolved through history, compare and contrast their characteristics, and examine the unique adaptations which help them survive in specialized environments.
Learn how to distinguish turtles and tortoises, why reptiles lay eggs, and how lizards smell (not with noses!).
Invertebrates
Get up-close and personal with Earth’s largest group of animals as you meet live insects, arachnids, mollusks, echinoderms, and more!
Did you know that 99 percent of all living species are invertebrates? Learn how lacking a spine can be beneficial, while exploring the unique characteristics of the invertebrate animal families and the adaptations which help them survive.
Hands-on experiences with Museum specimens and live examples of each family allow the audience to get to know these amazing animals firsthand.
Book this presentation and discover why exoskeletons are awesome, how shrimp hunt for food, and which invertebrate glows in black light!
