The Age of Dinosaurs

All educational programs cost $135 each. This includes a 1 ½  hour program and all materials used for the hands-on project


BEFORE THE  AGE OF DINOSAURS   Through giant sized posters, participants will glimpse the seas before the age of dinosaurs.  The creatures that were neither mammal nor dinosaur are viewed.  How fossils are formed is demonstrated.  Real fossils from millions of years ago are shown and viewed through magnifying glasses by students to tell the rest of the story.  To culminate this fascinating topic, everyone will create a sea monster out of glow paper. K – 3rd Grade

THE  AGE OF DINOSAURS   Through giant sized posters, the story of dinosaurs is told.  To enhance the story, a fossilized dinosaur leg bone, weighing five pounds is held by each student. Coprolites and gastroliths are shown for students to guess what they are and how these fossils help the paleontologist learn about the dinosaurs from the past.  To culminate the excitement, trace fossils (imprints) of dinosaur skin and feet are created in soft clay by each participant of their favorite dinosaur.  K – 3rd Grade
