- Grades 2-5 -
Fossils
In this interactive class, students become paleontologists for the day, learning from the fossil record and making educated hypotheses about prehistoric events based on evidence. Hands-on activities focus on the process of fossilization, methods of excavation, interpretation of findings, and concepts of extinction. This is NOT a class on dinosaurs.
