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 finds. Classes will be in a lecture style using multi-media PowerPoint slides with opportunities for questions. We will cover the following topics: 1) Sedimentary rocks and fossils. 2) Evolution of dinosaurs. 3) Dinosaur extinctions: volcano or asteroid? 4) The last hour of the dinosaurs. Please contact me if you have any further questions or need any other information.
Learning Goals
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.Other Details

Parental Guidance
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.
Pre-Requisites
None, but this is not a basic class, so younger kids may find it challenging unless they are already keen on the subject.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
