Whiteville, N.C. — The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences at Whiteville presents “Science Cinema” Saturday, June 24, featuring National Geographic’s “Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure.” Stunning photo-realistic computer-generated animation will transport audiences back to the Late Cretaceous, when a great inland ocean divided North America in two. Journey back in time with Dolly, an adventurous Dolichorynchops, as she encounters some of the most ferocious and fascinating creatures to have ever inhabited the oceans.
This 40-minute film will be shown at 10:00 a.m., noon and 2:00 p.m. The film is not rated. Admission is free, but donations are appreciated. Science Cinema programming is funded by a grant from the International Paper Foundation.
Science Cinema films are designed to educate and enlighten as much as entertain. An educator resource guide, designed for grades 2 through 12, extends the “Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure” learning experience with lesson plans and activities that tie to the film and can be downloaded for free at http://www.nationalgeographic.com/seamonsters/educators/index.html
For more information, please contact the museum at 910-914-4185 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
