Available Shows

The Dinosaur Prophecy
Grades 4–7
Long before the dinosaurs’ massive extinction 65 million years ago, many individual species simply disappeared as they experienced climate change and other catastrophes that are still part of Earth's natural processes today. In The Dinosaur Prophecy, visit dinosaur graveyards, study their bones, and reconstruct how these creatures lived and died to solve four famous cold cases from the age of the dinosaurs.
Science & Technology 3.3.7D, 3.5.4A, 3.5.7A

Earth's Wild Ride
Grades 2–­5
Imagine—it’s the year 2081, and a solar eclipse takes place as a grandfather and his two grandchildren living on the moon look on. The children, born on the moon, can never visit Earth, and Grandpa's stories about the far-away planet take them flying around an erupting volcano, among giant dinosaurs, through an ice age cave, and soaring down a raging river.
Science & Technology 3.4.4D, 3.5.4C
Also available in Spanish.

Force Five
Grades 3–7
In 1900, when a hurricane hit Galvaston, Texas, more than 8,000 people died. In May 1999, a tornado hit Oklahoma City, and doppler radar measured winds at over 300 miles per hour. Solar storms may seem far away and have little impact on our lives, but the more we depend on satellites and electricity, the more vulnerable we become to these powerful events. In this show, learn how hurricanes form, fly through a category five storm, and investigate how NASA finds and tracks storms today. See how thunderstorms turn into tornadoes, witness the devastation of that storm, and look at what tools we have today to identify and to predict tornadoes.

Fantasy Worlds: Extremeophiles
Grades 5–9
Where should we look for life beyond our planet? Imagine a very hot world and the life-forms that might thrive there, then venture to Yellowstone Hot Springs here on Earth and find life living in almost boiling hot water. Now, imagine a cold, salty, acidic, and acrid world and its possible life-forms. Connect the search for life on planets orbiting other stars with the search for life in extreme conditions and the evolution of life here on Earth.
Science & Technology 3.3.7D
Also available in Spanish.

Molecularium

Amazing Astronomers of Antiquity
Grades 4–8
Over 2000 years ago, astronomers knew the Earth was round, measured its diameter and distance from the sun, created an accurate star map, predicted eclipses and developed a calendar with precision equal to our modern ones. Experience all these discoveries and more!

Life’s Cradle, Birth of Wonder
Grades 6--12
Join the search for the cradle of life on the barren  worlds of our solar system and on the grasslands of East Africa over three million years ago. Discover how changing geology and climate coincided with the explosion of intelligence and the beginning of modern humans.

Night of the Titanic
Grades 6–12
Investigate this famous event in the context of oceanography, and think about many causes, both natural and human that led to the most famous sinking of all time. Consider how changing conditions in the North Atlantic and Arctic today effect our world tomorrow.
