Anatomy: Biological Clues
Grades: 3rd - 5th (Ages: 8 - 11) Co-ed
In this exploration of biology and anatomy students will investigate bacteria and fungi that live on classroom surfaces by growing them in a Petri dish and then try to identify them. Then explore the role of genes in dominant and recessive traits. Learn about DNA and extract it from cells!
Try to identify birds and marine mammals by their calls. Is it a humpback whale or an orca? Examine an owl pellet and try to identify the owl's major food sources from the bones in the pellet and compare homologous bones across species.
