V IRTUA L PL A NETA RIUM with Michigan Science Center During this exciting virtual planetarium show, students will discuss the stars and deep sky objects that are visible in the night sky tonight! Practice identifying familiar constellations and asterisms with the help of the Michigan Science Center's team of astronomers. TR ACK ING POL A R BE A RS - USING M ATH A ND SCIENCE TO IN V ESTIG ATE THE LIFE OF A POL A R BE A R with Polar Bears International Connect with staff and ambassadors at Polar Bears International to learn about the importance of tagging and tracking polar bears. Discover polar bear paths, how to track populations and individual bears. Students will learn what data is collected by tracking the bears, and how scientists use this data to assist in protecting polar bear populations. THE SCOOP ON POOP with Alaska Sea Life Alaska Sea Life Center researchers need your help. Why is the endangered Steller sea lion population declining? Environment? Pollution? Diet? How do scientists learn what animals put into their bodies without watching them eat? They get the "scoop on poop." Students will use the scientific method to begin to answer some of these questions. By dissecting sea lion scat, students will discover how scientists find clues to animal diet and foraging behavior. Students will determine the species, weight, and size of fish the sea lion has been feasting on.
