In this 5 week Live Class, we'll explore a Virtual Natural History Museum, featuring different biomes and creatures, both prehistoric and modern. We'll visit a different section of the museum each week: 

Week 1: 

Marine Mammals: featuring dolphins, manatees, and "how do mammals differ from fish?"

Week 2: 

Creatures of the Deep Ocean: how animals like the Giant Squid and Blob Fish survive the extreme conditions of the Marina Trench

Week 3: 

Dinosaur Park Expedition: we'll visit the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Velociraptor in the Predator Paddock, learn how Pterodactyl are related to modern birds in the Aviary, and more

Week 4: 

Prehistoric Beasts of the Ice Age and more: learn how scientists are trying to clone the extinct Woolly Mammoth and tour Los Angeles' La Brea Tar Pits

Week 5:

Tropical Rainforests: with Sugar Gliders and Jaguars, plus how we can protect the Earth's Rainforests
