US Grade 5 - 8
This class aims to give students a detailed understanding of fossils, the fossil record, rocks and a variety of ancient creatures from dinosaurs to extinct invertebrates.  Students will learn about extinction theories, fossil formation and the intricacies of the geologic column from the Cambrian to the Holocene.  The materials include an interactive PowerPoint slideshow as well as a tour of a real fossil lab.  At the end of class, students will get to work together in a rapid fire fossil quiz mini game.  This class is best suited for dinosaur lovers between the ages of ten to fourteen and requires no former knowledge or experience.
