Hands-on science lessons

Science Enrichment Program

Discover the drama and danger that early paleontologists experienced while on expeditions for extreme extinct creatures. These feuding fossil hunters were in a race to find the most unusual and unique animals to ever roam the earth.

We will reveal the mysteries and mistakes these paleo pioneers made while stalking the Stegosaurus. Where, oh where, was Apatosaurus’ head?

We will not only learn about the challenges these dinosaur diggers faced while on the trail of T-rex and Triceratops, but we will learn about these big beasts, as well. During the Cretaceous Period and earlier, dinosaurs were hanging out with many other creatures, like plesiosaurs and pterosaurs.

Mrs. Joan Batson will teach this exciting virtual science program exploring the fantastic world of dinosaurs. We will perform hands-on experiments and activities, such as sorting out a mixed-up dinosaur and wrapping a “fossil” just like paleontologists do on a fossil dig.
