This travelling exhibit provides an informative treatment of some of our most pressing and current concerns about how our climate is changing, like:

What is the scientific basis of global warming?
How certain is it?
What causes climate change?
Might humans cause the sixth greatest extinction on Earth?

Interactive activities include a box store to choose environmentally-friendly products and a recycling activity.

What to expect... We recommend you make this exhibit a family outing - kids ages 10+ will especially be able to make sense of the science-based text panels. Round out your exhibit experience by taking in one our family programs themed around the exhibit, and then make plans for what you can do at home after your visit!
