Description

Students expand their understanding of biological adaptations by observing both skulls and live animals. They see up to three live animals from different groups, place the animals in their correct classes, and learn about specific adaptations each has developed. After observing the live animals, students engage in a hands-on activity in which they become scientists and examine particular skulls to determine how the animals may have adapted.

Capacity: 2 classes (50 students) per session; 1 - 3 sessions per day. Requirements: A room with 24' x 24' of clear floor area. Fee: $305 for 1 session; $100 for each additional same-day session, plus travel fees for sites more than 30 miles from the Museum.
