Piranhas, anacondas and pink dolphins! Oh my! Teachers came to the Florida Museum of Natural History to journey down the Amazon River and discover the many treasures along the most biologically diverse river in the world.

With the help of Museum docents, teachers learned how to effectively use the exhibit with their students.

Learning and applying scientific research techniques.

Looking at the world from a piranha's point of view.

How many teachers does it take to carry a full grown anaconda?

In the classroom, teachers practiced activities like this mark-recapture experiment.

Which tool resembles which fish mouth shape?

There are differences between piranhas and pacus but this fossil replica shows us their similarities.

Each activity, such as this chromatography experiment, uses simple materials to create a big impact.

Deforestation is a problem for both the rainforest and the river as demonstrated in this activity.

It is a fun day for teachers when they can learn new information about fish and then dress like one too!
