Last Week: Falling Into Autumn

This time on The Children’s Hour we are falling into autumn in the northern hemisphere. We learn the science about equinoxes, and hear from 5th graders on learning different perspectives about the fall holidays:  Labor Day, Mexican Independence Day, and Columbus Day. It’s all mixed with great music.

This Week: Fossils

Learn about fossils in a Kids Crew field trip to a secret fossil quarry in the mountains outside of Albuquerque. Then Amadeus chats with New Mexico Natural History Museum educator Mike Sanchez to learn how fossils are created. Discover how fossils can teach us about the Ice Age and climate change from Dr. Emily Lindsey at the La Brea Tar pits. This episode comes with a Learn-Along guide and is mixed with great music. Learn with us!
