What's Urban Ecology all about? Birds moving to the suburbs... trees struggling in parking lots... drinking water that smells like dirt. These are just a few of the things that urban ecologists study. Join ASU scientists as they explore the relationships between people, animals, plants, air, and water in one of the most important environments on Earth - the city.

Leave the Earth behind and take a tour of the Solar System. Join ASU scientists on the hunt for life in space, learn what you'd have to do to visit Mars, and figure out if that rock in your yard is really a meteorite.

Creepers, peepers and crawlers of the Sonoran Desert gather in the Desert Den. The stories and activities in this section of Chain Reaction focus on creatures that make their home in Arizona's Sonoran Desert, and on the ASU scientists, scholars and students who study those creatures.

Join ASU climatologists and meteorologists at the Weather Station to understand that wild, windy stuff we call weather. Think you're already weather-wise? We'll sprain your brain with our games and activities. Ready to try it yourself? We'll show you how to whip up your own storms at home.
