If you can’t make it out to the museum, you can still learn with us! Find over 100 biodiversity-themed resources you can download and use for free. There are options for all grades covering topics like identification, anatomy, ecology, and evolution. Take some time to explore our resources website and get inspired to learn about the natural world from your home or classroom anywhere in the world.
The resource pictured above is from a printable poster that highlights how scientists use camera traps to help study large animals in the wild. This can be paired with the Researchers Revealed online exhibit, where scientists teach you about their projects!
