SUMMARY:STEAM into Native Cultures
DESCRIPTION:Explore what STEAM stands for while also fostering cultural awareness of Native American Heritage. Explore the concept of the medicine wheel\, cardinal directions\, the lunar calendar (through the book Thirteen Moons on a Turtle’s Back)\, and natural patterns/ cycles. Though the activity is mostly self-guided\, staff members will be present to answer any questions or provide further resources. The associated projects and book will be laid out on a table in the museum.

SUMMARY:Dinosaur Park Free Open House
DESCRIPTION:Dinosaur Park offers a free Open House event from 12-4 pm on Saturday October 17th\, during which the public can learn about the plants and animals that called Maryland home during the early Cretaceous Period (115 million years ago)! As part of this community science program\, participants are also invited to help us make new discoveries by assisting with fossil surface collecting. Please note that there is no actual digging during this program\, rather we simply scour the surface to see what new fossils have been exposed through natural erosion. This program does not require any prior registration. Participants will sign up on site. This program is entirely outdoors and weather dependent\, so please keep an eye on the weather and dress appropriately. Please check the Dinosaur Park website to confirm the program is not cancelled due to weather.  \n\n\n\nThe October Open House theme is Maryland Fossil Symbols\, so we will also be highlighting Maryland’s three fossil state symbols: MD Fossil State Shell (Ecphora)\, MD State Dinosaur (Astrodon)\, and the MD State Shark (Megalodon). Learn about the intersection of science and society\, as we discuss the historical significance of these fossils and why we should all take pride in our Maryland fossil symbols.

SUMMARY:"Hive Mentality"-Hive Dive at Serenity Ridge Nature Preserve & Natural Burial Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:Check out how “Hive Intelligence” works. Suit up in a bee suit at our “Hive Dive”.   Check on the queen. Make sure she is laying new eggs. Hopefully spot her. Check on honey production. Give them more room to produce more honey and remove any frames that are capped off fully with honey. Check on the resources and overall numbers for the hive. You’ll gain a new perspective of what is going on in the hive\, what the bees are doing\, and details about their work. Optional: Learn about natural burial and how it is beneficial to the environment.
