In all workshops, teachers receive notebooks filled with activities that are correlated with the TEKS as well as resources, books, and other materials. Workshops are run by Dr. Kodi Jeffery, Science Educator for the Museum.
Most workshops have a science focus, although they are cross-curricular.
In this workshop, we explore what makes a mammal a mammal. Despite having common characteristics, mammals are a very diverse group. We'll study mammals by sniffing out clues, designing mammal masks, and comparing and contrasting the bones found in various mammals. Dr. Arthur H. Harris is our expert for this workshop, and he'll help with activities as well as giving a presentation to introduce us to this fascinating group, of which we are a part. The vessel, Cassini, left Earth three years ago on its way to Saturn.
