The Interactive Museum
Students will gather to hear a dramatic presentation about dinosaurs and the field of
paleontology. Some of the topics discussed will be the variety of different kinds of dinosaurs,
how fossils were formed, and how paleontologists piece together clues about dinosaurs.
Each class of students will be given a paleontologist's notebook as a guide through a variety of
hands-on museum activities. Through these activities, students will explore the world of the
paleontologist and learn about dinosaurs. Exhibits require a great deal of reading, thinking, and
responding.
Current Exhibits Include: Tooth Tales, Dinosaur Poop Picking, Footprint Fun, Stomach
Contents, The Skin They Were In, Bone Analysis, Eggs and Nests, Fossil Excavation . . .
The Classroom Kits
Each participating class will receive a fossil kit to be used in the classroom. The kit contains
real dinosaur fossils and a couple of museum quality replicas. Each item is tagged with
information for the teacher to share with the students. Students then have the opportunity to
observe the fossils closely, touch them, and discuss them with their teacher.
*Activities throughout the museum are adapted specifically to each grade level.
