Arizona's Water Cycle and Community Conservation in Action
Discover how Arizona's climate and land impact how water moves
through the water cycle. Ask questions about what could happen to our water.
Learn about water reclamation and what you can do to help our community
protect our water resources.
Shoreline Life
Use tools to study the largest and smallest creatures that live in the shoreline
waters of Arizona. Observe special characteristics, and ask questions based
on observations. Describe the land that creates this type of area and learn
about the special food chains that exist in these unique habitats.
Plants as Earth’s Food Factory
Simulate the photosynthesis process to understand how energy from
sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide are converted into simple sugars and
oxygen to provide food, energy and even building materials. Explore the
importance of photosynthesis and the critical role plants play in the survival
of life.
Arizona's Dinosaurs
Unearth dinosaur bones in our paleontology site, study the tracks of Arizona's
own dinosaurs, and wonder about the physical characteristics of these large
creatures. Learn about how paleontologists work and make inferences about
how these beasts lived long ago. Find dinosaurs and humans on the earth
time line.
Sun, Wind, and Weather
(Limited Availability)
Use a safe, filtered solar telescope to examine the surface of the sun and
its features. Identify and investigate the roles of air, water, and solar
energy as the building blocks of weather.
