Constructive Coastlines
Explore how green and gray coastal infrastructure respond to storm conditions by creating models of coastlines. Will your coastline be strong enough to withstand hurricanes?! This activity is inspired by the Frost Science MUVE coastal habitat restoration work locally on Miami’s Virginia Key. Proceeds from each program booked go toward continuing this conservation work.
Recommended for grades 2-8
Museum on the Move: Shark Bites
Sharpen your knowledge of sharks! Students will take a close-up look at shark teeth artifacts from the Frost Science Education Collection while discovering how scientists use shark teeth to gain understanding of this keystone species.
Recommended for grades k-5
Museum on the Move: Ecosystem Engineers
Animals can be engineers too! Discover the importance of ecosystem engineers while exploring the role of mollusks in their environments. Students will play an oyster habitat building game and view different mollusk shells from the Frost Science Education Collection.
Recommended for grades 3-5
Turtle Crawl
Derived from our popular summer-only NEST program, this fun activity allows students to take on the role of a hatchling or mother sea turtle and navigate their way across the beach! Students will learn about the sea turtle nesting process and ways humans can help these animals thrive.
Recommended for grades 3-8
Circuitry Challenge
Learning about electrical conduction is a snap in this hands-on circuit exploration. Students will discover the basics of energy and electricity as they use problem solving skills to build circuits that glow, buzz, and even move. Just be careful not to short-circuit!
Recommended for grades 2-8
Geology Rocks
Dig into geology as your students learn to sort and identify rocks and minerals from the Frost Science collection. Then students will be able to conduct experiments to study magnetism and luster. Finally, they’ll take on the role of backyard geologists as they learn about limestone and South Florida’s unique history.
Recommended for grades 4-8
Catapult Engineering Challenge
Take flight into engineering design as your students learn about history’s oldest launching machines: catapults! Students will discover the principles of physics and engineering, then apply their knowledge to experiment with the force, accuracy and precision of three types of catapults.
Recommended for grades 4-8
