RMSC Delivers: Experiences at Your Site OR Live Science at the RMSC

This very interactive program expands the students’ imagination as they learn about and “create” a fossil. Students become “paleontologists” in a mock “dig,” and then role-play as dinosaurs to explore how they move, eat, and defend themselves.

Thanks to Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation and Vision Auto Group for their support of the RMSC Delivers program!
