Scientists used to think that the dinosaur extinction was caused by volcanoes. Now they think it was caused by a massive asteroid strike near Mexico. We look at the evidence & talk about other major extinction events: past, present & future

US Grade 5 - 8
To discover and learn without realising it, because you are having fun! By the end of this course students will understand the mechanisms behind major extinction events inclusing the one that wiped out the dinosaurs. They will also be able to link how stability in the environment is crucial to our own long term existence.
I have a BSc in Geology and an MSc in Geophysics and have chosen the most interesting and exciting subjects to teach to get young minds fascinated by Earth Sciences.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
This class talks about mass extinction events, including the possibility of humans creating one now that may lead to our own extinction. This may be distressing for some students.
