Early Chilhood (4K) Programs
What is a Dinosaur
Capacity: 30 students
Formats Available: On-site, virtual, outreach
People think they know what a dinosaur is, but do they really? Students will be introduced to the criteria necessary to be defined as a dinosaur while looking at life-size dinosaur skeletons in our gallery. Students will also have an opportunity to explore the world of paleontology on their own by digging in a mock excavation and participating in other activities within our classroom.
Grades K-2
What is Paleontology?

Formats Available: On-site, virtual
Explore the fascinating field of paleontology and dinosaurs. Students will examine fossils, conduct hands-on lab work, and practice their excavation skills at our on-site mock excavation.
Grades 3-5
Trace Fossils: Keys to Dinosaur Behavior
Capacity: 30 students
Formats Available: On-site, virtual, outreach
You’ve seen dinosaur bones, but have you seen dinosaur vomit or butt prints? These lesser known, but equally revealing fossils provide paleontologists with a wealth of information about how dinosaurs may have behaved. Students will explore trace fossils through several hands-on STEM activities.
