Paleontology Club

In this ongoing 30-minute course we will be learning about a new dinosaur or prehistoric animal each class. Each week we will discuss where and when these animals lived, where their fossils were found, how they were fossilized, their diet, size, and the habitat in which they lived. Initially these will be chosen by myself, but after the first class, the prehistoric animals will be suggested and chosen by the learners with new topics being chosen each week. Potential topics will be suggested and discussed at the end of each class. 

The class will typically follow a format of: 
1. Introductions from myself and new students.
2. Teach class about one or more of the prehistoric animals chosen.
3. Discuss with the class what we learned, anything they found particularly interesting, and any questions they had.
4. Chose the topic of the next weeks class. 

The topics for this class will be as follows:
Week of Aug. 15th: Spinosaurus
Week of Aug. 29th: Trilobites (or prehistoric animal chosen by students)
Week of Sept. 5th: Megalosaurus (or prehistoric animal chosen by students)
Week of Sept. 12th: Ammonites (or prehistoric animal chosen by students)
Week of Sept 19th: Parasaurolophus (or prehistoric animal chosen by students)
Future sections of this class will be on new topics chosen by students rather than cycling back to previous topics.

This will be an ongoing, drop in/drop out class, and as such anyone can join at any time without learning material from previous weeks. No experience or knowledge is required for this course, but a love of prehistoric creatures is encouraged.
