Programs held outdoors

	Essential Air Enjoy your own hands-on experience using our seed-launch tower, bird garden and sailboat pond in our Catch the Wind outdoor area! Learn how plants, people and animals use air!
	All About Invertebrates We'll introduce you to the same spineless wonders as in our 50-minute program and get you set to study an invertebrate lifecycle back at school! We'll provide you with all the materials and know-how you'll need to continue discovering for weeks in the classroom! Carolina Critters What better way to learn about North Carolina wildlife than by seeing it face-to-face! We'll learn the skills necessary to track NC wildlife, meet three live critters that inhabit our state, and dissect owl pellets! NEW! Lepidopterology  Learn about the anatomy and lifecycle of butterflies. In the classroom we’ll get up close using microscopes and make a slide of a butterfly wing to take home. Then we’ll head down to the tropical conservatory to investigate the preferences of live butterflies.
	Forces of Flight We'll guide you through an exploration of the seed launch tower, sailboat pond, and Ornithopter in Catch the Wind to discover how plants and animals use the force of moving air for transportation and survival. Dancing with the Stars Explore the cycles of the sky and discover why the stars and the moon seem to change over time. Learn to use tools that take advantage of the motion from above. Stargaze in the daytime as you experience StarLab, our portable planetarium!
