DESCRIPTION
We live on a beautiful planet; a planet filled with life. But the animals we share our world with are currently going extinct at an astronomical rate. Your students can learn about why this is happening and what we humans can do to stop it in our FREE program The Sixth Mass Extinction.

PROGRAM STRUCTURE
Thanks to a generous donor, ALL participating students and teachers receive FREE admission to Morrill Hall for this program. This includes a 45-minute educator led program that uses beautiful photography of endangered species, video, and up-to-date science to help young people explore why extinction is happening. Students then develop ideas for what we can do locally, nationally, and internationally to help protect the species we share our planet with.
