SUMMARY:Educator Workshop: STEELS Standards and Project-Based Learning
DESCRIPTION:Using the exhibition Life in One Cubic Foot as inspiration\, explore activities and lessons to teach learners about the dynamics of biodiversity and ecosystems. We’ll visit the exhibition to discover what a cubic foot of land or water reveals about the diversity of life on the planet with the help of “biocubes”\, one-cubic-foot frames used to survey animals and plants living in an ecosystem. Meet with other formal and informal educators to think about ways we can support each other in planning for the new STEELS standards and their focus on project-based learning. \nLife in One Cubic Foot is organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. \nThis workshop welcomes educators from all subject areas and grade levels. \nIf more than 50% of your students qualify for free or reduced-price school lunch\, your school or organization will be eligible for a scholarship towards a museum field trip after the workshop.  \nFunding is available to reimburse your school or district for substitute teacher costs on the day that you attend this workshop. \n\n\n[swcheckout site=”6″ item=”126856″]

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: A time-machine to Africa: revisiting the collections of the Pulitzer Expedition to Angola at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: “A Time-Machine to Africa: Revisiting the Collections of the Pulitzer Expedition to Angola at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History”\n\nSpeaker: Luis Ceríaco\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History.  \nIn 1930\, the newspaper mogul Ralph Pulitzer funded an expedition to Angola\, southwestern Africa\, for the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Aimed at getting specimens of the iconic Giant Sable\, the expedition was comprised of naturalists who assembled impressive zoological\, paleontological and ethnographic collections. These collections are still extant in CMNH and are scientifically relevant to the present day. They served as the basis of the description of new species and are unparalleled testimonies of the Angolan landscape a century ago. While reviewing part of the collections assembled in this expedition\, I started to pull a thread that eventually led me to (re)discover a treasure trove of documentation and specimens. In the last 10 years I’ve been doing research in Angola and collecting in the exact same areas covered by the Pulitzer Expedition. This allows us to compare the landscape evolution\, the loss of biodiversity and the logistics of an early twentieth century expedition with those of today. This story intertwines history and biodiversity and reinforces the value and scientific importance of CMNH collections. Using the CMNH collections as a time-machine\, we will travel back and forth in time and discuss history\, science and conservation in one of Africa’s most biodiverse countries. \nThis event will take place Monday\, December 11\, 2023 at Noon in person at Earth Theater. \nSeminar 163 \n.
