Course Description

Prepare for a roaring adventure in our dinosaur science course designed for 1st-3rd grade kids! Join us as we journey back millions of years to explore the fascinating world of dinosaurs. In this course, young paleontologists will learn how to analyze fossils and unlock the secrets of ancient life. Through engaging hands-on activities, they will discover what lived long ago and how we can learn about prehistoric creatures through the remains they left behind. We'll dive into the Triassic and Jurassic Periods, uncovering the diverse range of dinosaurs that once roamed the Earth.

Our Core Goals For Science Education

We have three high-level goals with every science course we teach: increase motivation/excitement to learn, teach practical skills, and prepare the student academically.

  • Motivational goal: Spark a natural curiosity for the world so that learning is more about the journey than the destination.

    Practical goal: Help students think logically and formulate well-structured questions about the world so they can find the answer to any question they come up with (even if the answer is “we don’t know yet”).

    Academic goal: Cover the most important NGSS standards to give students confidence and set them up for any future academic endeavor they wish to pursue.

Skills & Next Generation Science Standards Covered

  • Description text goes here

  • Analyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the organisms and the environments in which they lived long ago.

    Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment.

  • Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time.
