K-3 teachers - do you dig dinosaurs?

Brad Kruger's blog | Created 1 decade ago

We Dig Dinosaurs is a hands-on, interactive experience where students can uncover a large buried fossil, use tools to excavate a fossil from rock, reconstruct a dinosaur skeleton, as well as handle and identify real fossils that are millions of years old!

At the end of the session, the students are awarded the honour of being one of the Museum’s honorary ’Junior Palaeontologists’ (business cards provided!).

K-3 classes can brush, chip and sort their way through a range of dinosaur activities at our Perth, Albany, Geraldton and Kalgoorlie sites.

For booking information and teacher / student resource materials, please visit www.museum.wa.gov.au/education and follow the links to K-3 programs for your nearest Museum.

Year 4-7 teachers – we haven’t forgotten you. Be sure to check out our new program Fossil Forensics – Magnificent Megafauna at each of the above sites.
