Many people know about the American Museum of Natural History. They know it has incredible dinosaurs, and gems, and minerals, and so on. But I don't know how many people are aware that there is an incredible scientific research done here.
Our Seminars on Science online graduate courses really bring all of this and more to teachers across the United States and around the world.
There are so many different courses you could take.
Ocean Systems.
The Link Between Dinosaurs and Birds.
Solar System. Space Time in Motion.

The four courses I took with the Museum were really great, and hats off to your excellent instructors for making the course material relevant and useful to us teachers!
The instructors were excellent and fostered a cooperative and very positive atmosphere that encouraged students.
The best part of this course was gaining an understanding of an area I knew little about. Now I feel I can share my new insights with my students. I also enjoyed the convenience of participating from my home.
