What is a Dinosaur

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.
