Last Week: Fossils

Learn about fossils in a Kids Crew field trip to a secret fossil quarry in the mountains outside of Albuquerque, as well as in a chat with New Mexico Natural History Museum educator Mike Sanchez. Will we become fossilized too? Fossils teach us about the Ice Age and climate change at the La Brea Tar pits in the heart of Los Angeles. This episode comes with a Learn-Along guide and is mixed with great music.

This Week: Exoplanets

Everyone wonders if there’s life outside of Earth, but for life to exist, it has to live somewhere. NASA is looking for these extra-terrestrial homes around other stars. The Kids Crew visit with exoplanetologist Dr. Diana Dragomir from the University of New Mexico. We discover what an exoplanet is, and how astronomers find them in a vast sea of stars. Find a learning guide and activities to accompany this episode.
