North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences

The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences will develop experiential programming and purchase educational supplies and equipment for its Earth Observation and Biodiversity (EOB) Investigate Lab, which will be housed in a new museum wing, the Nature Research Center. The EOB Investigate Lab will engage adults and teens, with a primary focus on middle and high school students, in authentic science research to prepare them for college, the workforce, and science and civic literacy. The museum will develop curricula that tie to the EOB Investigate Lab programs on biofuels and the science of scent.
