They will be sharing that adventure in an upcoming World's Most Exciting Classroom event. Instead they will have a prerecorded event featuring the following:- Rosa Vasquez Espinoza will join the event, she is a Peruvian Chemical Biologist, National Geographic Explorer, educator, conservationist and award-winning artist. She founded the project MicroAmazon that explores the microscopic universe of extreme environments and unique animals in the Amazon Rainforest to discover new molecules and enzymes for medicine and green chemistry. She's been exploring what is known as the Boiling River, a roughly four-mile stretch of water flowing through Peru’s rainforest. It reaches more than 200°F—hot enough to kill animals that slip into its path. The river has long been the stuff of legend, even dismissed by some Peruvians as nonexistent. She's been documenting what extreme creatures can live in these dangerous waters!- The results of our Making a Cloud in a Jar Experiment- Did you guess what last week's Curiosity of the Week is?- The team will share a link to a Kahoot Quiz your class can do together after you tune into the recording.
