Jurassic Journeys

Four dinosaurs take over your school for a day. And one of them walks. This in-school field trip turns your gym, cafeteria or library into a dinosaur exhibit for a day. Your students walk down the hall and they are in the Cretaceous. Nobody signs anything. Nobody gets on a bus. And unlike a museum, the exhibit comes to them. At a museum your students look at a skeleton behind a rope. Here they hold the fossil. It looks like a spectacle. It teaches like a STEM lesson. Every dinosaur in this show is a way into the science. Ten things your students come away with: The competing theories for how the dinosaurs went extinct Herbivores, carnivores and omnivores — and how you tell Why dinosaurs laid so many eggs Herbivore eggs versus carnivore eggs How Tyrannosaurus rex actually hunted Why Stegosaurus had those bony plates The movies were wrong — what velociraptors were really like How a fossil is formed in the first place How paleontologists use deductive reasoning to work out the rest The real size of most dinosaurs Hands on, not sat down. Your students are actively involved. All of them.
