Inquiry Room Investigation

Do your students really “dig” dinos? Take your experience to the next level with this hands-on program! Learn how dinosaurs used an amazing process called adaptation to find food and stay out of danger. Discover the tools and skills that real paleontologists use to turn fossil clues into science-backed stories about our planet’s past. Dig for fossils and draw your own conclusions about what happened millions of years ago in the region we now call home!
