Grades: 4-6
Cost: FREE
Date: October 20
Times: 9:00 AM, 10:15 AM, or 1:30 PM CDTIs this fish a carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore? Where does it fit in the food web? These are some of the questions marine biologists may ask when they’re trying to learn more about ocean life. But how do they answer these questions? By dissecting and examining the contents of a fish’s stomach, scientists can learn more about a specific fish species and its role in an ecosystem. Now it’s your turn! During this program, participants will identify and test a hypothesis using model black drum and alligator gar stomachs.

Chemistry Saves Lives (RECORDING)
Presented by George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum
Grades: K-12
Cost: FREE
Chemistry is fundamental to medical education, acting as the foundation on which the human body functions. Chemistry is the key to life and underpins the search for a cure for cancer. The late President Bush and Barbara Bush became advocates supporting and encouraging medical research to find cures for cancer following the death of their daughter Robin. One day, with the power of chemistry, cancer may be cured.
Join us to ignite imaginations and inspire students using chemistry demonstrations! Some of these will have weird polymers, super cold materials, and even some surprisingly loud reactions! Dr. Jim Pennington presents the Texas A&M University Chemistry Road Show. He greatly enjoys teaching students.
