Here you will find resources, supplements, and adaptations from the Pennsylvania Game Commission to accompany the science-based classroom lessons developed by the Discovery Place Education Studio and talented folks who have created the new IMAX film, Wings Over Water! We encourage you to visit the Wings Over Water website and view the film at the Whitaker Center in Harrisburg.
Wings Over Water tells the story of the epic journeys of three amazing bird families – the Sandhill Crane, the Yellow Warbler and the Mallard Duck – with extraordinary footage of their fascinating behaviors.
