SUMMARY:VIRTUAL - A Journey into the Hidden World of Tropical Bats with Scientists from the Smithsonian Trop
DESCRIPTION:Join us in kicking off October as we welcome three Smithsonian-affiliated scientists to teach us about the remarkable world of tropical bats! \nClick HERE to register. \nFor decades\, scientists at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute have studied the remarkable biodiversity of bats on Barro Colorado Island in Panama\, where an astonishing seventy-six species coexist. Now\, for the first time\, Smithsonian scientists’ expertise pairs with the stunning photography of National Geographic contributor Christian Ziegler for a captivating visual journey into the fascinating world of these elusive night creatures\, to bring you the book Bat Island: A Rare Journey into the Hidden World of Tropical Bats. \nBats are unique among mammals: they have acquired true flight\, they provide essential ecosystem services\, and represent the ecologically most diverse group of mammals worldwide. Synthesizing decades-worth of intensive study\, Drs. Rachel Page\, Dina Dechmann\, Teague O’Mara\, and Marco Tschapka provide authoritative insight alongside 150 photographs that showcase bats’ extraordinary environmental adaptations and rich natural history. \nThis presentation will cover topics from the book\, such as the diverse sensory abilities of bats\, their foraging strategies\, roosting ecologies\, and social systems. Bat Island presents decades of study of the hyper diverse bat population on Barro Colorado Island in addition to the most comprehensive and long-term datasets on tropical bats. The book and this presentation highlights how bats are threatened by habitat fragmentation and land degradation\, and communicate the initiatives needed to ensure the survival of these animals\, which are critical to maintaining healthy\, balanced ecosystems. \nAnd let’s not forget\, the award-winning photojournalist Christian Ziegler’s photography as the images within the book illuminate the unique beauty and allure of bats and the tropical rainforest in Panama. Register now for this rare look into Bat Island!

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL - Your All Access Pass Behind the Scenes at the Space Station
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to virtually step inside one of the greatest international achievements with a behind-the-scenes guide to space exploration with the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum curator Dr. Jennifer Levasseur. \nREGISTER HERE \nRevealing a new perspective into the world of space exploration and the daring astronauts who make it possible\, Dr. Levasseur will guide you through the Smithsonian’s Behind the Scenes at the Space Station and take you on a once-in-a-lifetime virtual tour of the International Space Station. \nYou will learn what the astronauts do once they make it to the space station\, from experiments to repairs and so much more! Have you ever wondered if plants could grow in outer space? Or how the space station doesn’t break down in outer space? Or how astronauts go to the toilet in microgravity? \nBehind the Scenes at the Space Station is a treasure trove of information. Did you know that during a 24-hour period\, the space station completes 16 orbits of Earth and the astronauts on board see 16 sunrises and sunsets every day? Or that the International Space Station is so enormous that it was launched in pieces and constructed in orbit? \nBrimming with astonishing visuals\, step-by-step explanations of everyday space work in action\, and job profiles of the adventurous people who make it happen\, Dr. Levasseur’s tour Behind the Scenes at the Space Station is the perfect way to spend an hour and experience life in space.

SUMMARY:Shark Biology presented by Atlantic White Shark Conservancy
DESCRIPTION:Join the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy to learn about shark biology! \nChildren will assemble a life-size puzzle of a juvenile white shark and a life-size puzzle of an adult white shark and learn how sharks grow and change. With examples of shark teeth to discuss how feeding and diet change\, this program will demonstrate how sharks need food to grow and swim! \nThis program is for best for children in grades 1-4. \nRegistration required starting 1 week before the event.

SUMMARY:Student Led Chemistry Lab by Young Scientists Association
DESCRIPTION:Young Scientists of Hopkinton will be hosting a chemistry lab for kids in 3-6th grade. \nStudents will learn about PH and other chemical properties and conduct experiments. \nThis lab is led by high school student volunteers and is limited to 20 participants. \nAs a note\, we will be using balloons\, corn starch\, baking powder\, vinegar\, and marshmallows as part of the experiments. Please be aware of this if there are any allergies or concerns with these ingredients. \nAlthough optional\, it will help our high school presenters if you could fill out this SURVEY for their planning process
