Can you claim your small piece of the earth by making a map of your yard or your neighborhood? Which dinosaurs would you have liked to roam the earth with if you had lived 66 million years ago? Let’s dance, sing and eat with some of earth’s many fascinating cultures. Get to the core of this precious planet by digging in and cultivating your curiosity about oceans, atmosphere, cultures, continents, and more.
