Science City

The earth is just a tiny pary of our gigantic solar system. Join Jayda today at Science City to explore other planets and components of our solar system.

“6-8.ESS1.B Analyze and interpret data to determine scale properties of objects in the solar system. [Clarification Statement: Examples of scale properties include the sizes of an object’s layers (such as crust and atmosphere), surface features (such as volcanoes), and
UN.1.A.7 a. Classify celestial bodies in the solar system into categories: Sun, Moon, planets, and other small bodies (i.e., asteroids, comets, meteors), based on physical properties
b. Compare and contrast the size, composition, atmosphere, and orbital radius. “

Eclipses & Black Holes

SE Missouri State University

What is the difference between a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse? What is a black hole and can we see them with a telescope? Join Claire at SE Missouri State University to see the first photos of a black hole and more.

8.ESS1.A.1 Develop and use a model of the Earth-sun-moon system to explain the cyclic patterns of lunar phases and eclipses of the sun and moon. [Clarification Statement: Examples of models can be physical, graphical, or conceptual and should emphasize relative positions and distances.]

Montgomery Zoo

Why do birds have different beak sizes and shapes? Why do come in different colors? Join us today at the Montgomer Zoo to learn about the many types of birds and their differences, as well as Main Wolves and Anteaters.

“Objective SCI.7.10.1: Define predator, plumage, germination, specialized, probability, innate, and learned behaviors. 10.: Use evidence and scientific reasoning to explain how characteristic animal behaviors (e.g., building nests to protect young from cold, herding to protect young from predators, attracting mates for breeding by producing special sounds and displaying colorful plumage, transferring pollen or seeds to create conditions for seed germination and growth) and specialized plant structures (e.g., flower brightness, nectar, and odor attracting birds that transfer pollen; hard outer shells on seeds providing protection prior to germination) affect the probability of successful reproduction of both animals and plants.”

Science of EMT

Alabama Fire College
EMT and Parmedics must know anatomy and physiology as first responders in order to address many of the medical emergencies that people experience.
“The Human Anatomy and Physiology standards provide a depth of conceptual understanding to
adequately prepare students for college, career, and citizenship with an appropriate level of scientific
literacy.”
