DESERT ADAPTATION:

Students will explore the ways plants and animals adapt to living in the desert. Students conduct experiments in the lab such as measuring temperature differences in and out of the shade; examine the small, waxy, or spiny leaves of desert plants; and learn about the chuckwalla, a lizard that changes color in response to temperature. This program includes creating a keepsake book of desert animals in a variety of ecozones and/or designing an art project with stamps of desert animals.

 Explore Under One Sky, a Native American exhibit from their perspective and in their own words. Find out when humans first occupied the Nevada portion of the Great Basin, the natural foods they collected and the skills they used for survival. See a reconstruction of a Great Basin cave containing evidence of past cultures and climate.
