Join us for an evening that examines what destruction leaves behind—both visible and hidden, offering new insights into how landscapes transform long after the flames are gone. Complementing this scientific […]
In this exploration of DRI's wildfire curriculum, you will participate in hands-on activities, including interactive modeling, gamified simulations, and kinesthetic movement. These activities were created in collaboration with DRI's environmental scientists to allow students to learn about the role of wildfire in Nevada's sagebrush steppe ecosystem. In the process, you will have the opportunity to […]
Bring real-world environmental science to life with engaging, hands-on investigations that reveal how radon moves through the environment and how weather factors impact radon levels. Educators will explore how air and water move through different soil types and discuss how these processes influence radon movement, practice using radon detectors, and rotate through weather stations that […]
Join us for an evening steeped in mystery and shadow as we explore the stories that linger where certainty fades. This event invites you into the realm of unsolved puzzles, […]
