Demonstrations25 minutes, $1 per personBone-A-Fied FactsGrades K-4 75 studentsWhy do we have bones? What are bones made of and how do they fit together? The answers to these questions and many others await you in this engaging exploration of the human skeletal system. Sponsored by the HCA Foundation anatomy and physiology 5.0Dinosaur DiscoveriesGrades K-5 75 studentsScientists draw conclusions about the structure and behavior of dinosaurs by comparing their fossils to observations of animals living today. Using realistic dinosaur fossil replicas and real animal artifacts students learn how to think like paleontologists. diversity and adaptation among living things 5.0biological change Light FantasticGrades 1-4 75 studentsBend, split, and bounce light exploring the visible spectrum in demonstrations that light up the day!
