How many dinosaurs can you name? Did T-Rex really drag its tail? Explore the exciting field of paleontology and discover the mysteries of the past and a time millions of years ago when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. We will investigate extinctions, dig for bones, go on fossil hunts, track dinosaur footprints, and create replicas, learn about dino eggs and coprolites. As we investigate the prehistoric world of giant creatures we'll learn what some living creatures of today like giant isopods, octopus, squid, sea stars, and other invertebrates have to do with the dawn of the dinosaurs.
Notes:
Student must bring their own snacks and beverages.
