Join the Dinosaur Age
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

What is a Fossil?
Source Institutions
In this activity about dinosaurs, learners explore how and why fossils form. First, learners are introduced to dinosaur fossils by reading the book "Bones, Bones, Dinosaur Bones" by Byron Barton.

Dinosaur Interaction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore why animals, specifically dinosaurs, live in families.

When Pigs Fly
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore probability.

Prepare for a Dock Shop Field Trip
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore what makes a boat float and sink. They examine and test various objects to determine why objects float or sink.

Oh Buoy!
Source Institutions
Learners work in pairs to design, construct, and test a device that exhibits positive, neutral, and negative buoyancy. They test a number of different objects in water to see if they sink or float.

Curious Contraptions
Source Institutions
In this engineering design activity, learners will design, test, and build a “haunting machine” to solve a Sherlockian mystery.

Busted by Biology
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners will extract their own DNA from their cheek cells and learn how DNA is analyzed and used to solve crimes.

A Matter of Splatter
Source Institutions
In this math-based activity, learners will experiment to find how height and angle affect spatter and then use this knowledge to solve a crime.
Counting Books: Make Your Own!
Source Institutions
On the first night, I saw 5 stars in the desert. On the second night, I saw 10… What do you think I saw on the third night? Combine arts and crafts, literacy, and math by making a counting book.

Geometry and Spatial Relations: Tessellations WOW!
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore tessellations through literature, music, writing, and art activities.

Mix It Up
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners are introduced to proportional reasoning through modeling, sharing, and questioning techniques.

Dinosaur Flesh and Bones
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons.

Levers at Play
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

Make a Cast of a Tyrannosaurus rex Fossil
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils by making cast models of a T. rex. First, learners read about and research how dinosaur fossils form.
