Spinosaurus Skeleton Assembly
The National Geographic Museum team assembles a 15-meter (50-foot) replica of a Spinosaurus skeleton. Spinosaurus was the largest known carnivorous dinosaur; it roamed the rivers of what is now northern Africa roughly 90 million years ago. This skeleton was the flagship attraction for the exhibit, which appeared in the museum in 2014.

Building Circuits
Students experiment with batteries, wires, bulbs, and switches to assemble series and parallel circuits and to test for conductivity in sample items.
-
Planet Pledge
Students examine the carbon footprint interview responses to design Climate Change Challenge Pledges. They then create their unit final product: a representation of climate data, their pledge, and a paragraph explaining the data and justifying the pledge’s importance. Finally, students self- and peer-assess these final products in preparation for presentations.
