In this activity, learners use models of fossilized dinosaur teeth to understand how dinosaur teeth were used.

In this archaeology activity, learners consider ways in which excavating an underwater site is different from excavating a terrestrial site.

In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

In this activity, learners explore how casts of fossilized bones are created and used to learn about dinosaurs. Learners make observations, draw diagrams and share their findings.

In this activity, learners explore different types of fossils by making their out of dough and objects from around the house.
