Dinosaurs is a 60-minute workshop for kindergarten and grade 1, organized as five stations, including a paleontological dig, a museum and a race track. Students find out where dinosaurs came from, what they ate, how they disappeared and what a fossil is.
Did you meet a dinosaur on your way to school this morning?
Where did they come from, what did they eat, how did they disappear, how did they defend themselves, what animals did they become, what is a fossil?
Your budding paleontologists answer all these questions at our five stations, including a fossil dig, the museum, its electronic board and the race track!
Let’s walk together in the footsteps of these terrible lizards!
P.S. Students take home a drawing of their favourite dinosaur!
