Intermediate - Advanced Level
Welcome to my 4 Day Summer Boot Camp "All About Dinosaurs" Here we spend 4 consecutive days revealing the secrets of Dinosaurs. From what they evolved from all the way to their last hour before the asteroid struck that caused a 75% extinction. We study how fossils are made in sedimentary rocks and how this gives us a window into the the lives and habits of dinosaurs. We look at palaeontological techniques used at famous dinosaur fossil sites and explore the most famous dinosaur...
After the classes the student will have a good understanding of the secret life of dinosaurs by looking at fossils that record their first days to their last hour.
I have a BSc in Geology and an MSc in Geophysics (and a PhD in Philosophy) and have chosen the most interesting and exciting subjects to teach to get young minds fascinated by Earth Sciences.
Structured lecture classes, so participation optional, relieves anxiety Mixed media slides for different learning styles Engaging topics keeps attention Slides can be seen before class
None, but this is not a basic class, so younger kids may find it challenging unless they are already keen on the subject.
Some classes talk about Global Warming and Climate Change causing more frequent natural disasters. It also talks about mass extinctions including the possibility of humans causing one now (including ourselves) and has some drawn images of animals dying to become fossils. It is delivered in a upbeat manner with positive solutions (eg: switching to renewable energy), but the more sensitive students may find these topics distressing.
