Real Fossils. Real Fun
Jurassic Classroom is a unique educational outreach program that brings REAL DINOSAUR FOSSILS to YOU!

Jurassic Classroom's programs are designed for numerous different audiences of all education levels. Each one guarantees the opportunity to see and touch real dinosaur fossils, including ones from such favorites as:
Tyrannosaurus rex
Triceratops

Raptors

History of the Dinosaurs
This program looks specifically at the story of dinosaur evolution in the greater context of the History of Life on Earth. Students will look at real dinosaur fossils and museum-quality casts to follow the evolution of dinosaurs throughout the Mesozoic Era, culminating in the evolution of modern birds. The patterns in dinosaur evolution will be compared to the adaptations employed by living animals to determine if there are patterns in evolution. Finally, these same observations will be applied to make predictions about what some dinosaurs might look like today had they not gone extinct!
Mostly aimed at high school students.
Duration: Approximately 50-75 minutes.
