The World Around Us: Science Labs: Telemetry in Action, Tuesday July 14, 9am-12pm
If the land could talk, what would it tell us about the last 250 years? Understand how the population of our now national symbol, the bald eagle, was decimated due to chemicals and changes to the land. The Endangered Species Act helped the eagle and many other species. Come be a wildlife biologist and try your hand at using the same telemetry equipment staff use to track threatened and endangered species. Learn about the carbon, nitrogen, and water cycle while calculating your carbon footprint.
