About This Activity
Description
Ages 5-7
Explore ideas and methods of Archeology, Paleontology, and Geology and excavate the simulated bones of a model dinosaur! Assemble the fossil from your own “dig” to complete a 3-dimensional model of a dinosaur to take home. Investigate geologic time and fossil charts to compare living things then and now, and identify 20-million-year-old shark teeth and other fossils to keep. See, hold, and identify items from our rock and mineral collections, and design your very own dinosaurs based on what we observe from our exploration.All students should bring a nut-free snack and a water bottle to each session.
If registering for two camps in the same week, students will have a supervised lunch period and must bring a nut-free lunch and water bottle.
