We all know that people look different. Our history is full of examples of how those differences have forged cultural identities, as well as how they’ve split societies apart. But what story does modern science tell us? It’s never been more important to learn.

In RACE: Are We So Different?, students will explore the biology, history, and contemporary lived experience of race and racism in the

United States. They’ll discover what race is – and as importantly – what it isn’t. Pair your visit with the Race to the Finish Line Science Live show and make it a powerful, in-depth exploration that will have a lasting impact on students of all ages.

To help your students get the most out of their visit to RACE, we’ve put together an educator guide that includes a thorough exhibit overview, as well as pre- and post-visit activity ideas and educator resources. Visit smm.org/educatorguides to check it out.

Ideal for students in upper elementary, middle, and high school.

The Omnitheater has been taking viewers to places they’ve never seen before for a quarter of a century. That tradition continues in spring 2019, when Cuba makes its Omnitheater debut. Your students will take a giant screen journey to this mysterious southern neighbor, witnessing the resilience and determination of a remarkable island nation through the eyes of a historian, a ballerina, and a team of scientists.

Take a giant screen journey south to meet the people who are committed to restoring Cuba’s rich architectural heritage, which dates back to the 16th century. Meet a student at the Cuban National Ballet School, the largest ballet school in the world. And dive deep into Cuba’s coral reefs, which are the healthiest of any Caribbean nation, with a team of marine biologists. What is it about the island’s history that contributes to this environmental success story?

Through incredible historic photography and modern-day giant screen footage, this new film will lift the veil on this world unto itself – a rarely-seen nation of history, art, and science.

Ideal for all ages.

Year of the Engineer continues this fall with The Machine Inside: Biomechanics, a hands-on exhibition that invites your students to explore animals and plants as sophisticated machines built for survival – complete with pumps, pipes, insulation, motors, springs, and intelligence gathering devices.

Using real specimens, life-like models, amazing video footage, and interactive displays, Biomechanics investigates how cheetahs run so fast and fleas jump so far; how the bite force of an extinct fish made it a top predator; how a Venus fly trap detects its next meal; and how many other organisms function as machines in order to survive, move, and discover.

By delving deep, speeding things up, slowing things down, and presenting the inner-workings of plants and animals, Biomechanics will give your students a new appreciation for the machine inside all living things.

Ideal for all ages.

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, 18% of American adults live with mental illness – and nearly half of all mental illness symptoms appear before the age of 14. In order to build better lives for those who live with mental illness, we must understand that mental illnesses are common, they can affect anyone, and they are treatable.

This fall, give your students the tools they need to talk about a topic that touches our lives each day in the Mental Health: Mind Matters exhibition. Together, you’ll explore the ways mental illness has been treated in the past. You’ll get a taste of what it might be like to live with mental illnesses like depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. And you’ll find valuable resources to help you better understand your own mental health and support those with mental illness who are close to you. Join us as we make it okay to talk about mental health.

Our SciEd team has assembled resources to help you connect your Mental Health: Mind Matters visit to the classroom. Visit smm.org/educatorguides.
