Prehistoric Fossil Dig
In
our Prehistoric Fossil Dig students search for real fossils
that are millions of years old — and take home whatever
they find. Each student is assigned their own sand pit, and
with a sifting screen and sand scoop,digs for fossils. Each
sand pit is filled with a number of fossils including snails,
sea urchins, and fossilized shark's teeth.
Each
student gets a collection bag and an identification sheet with
pictures of the various types of fossils they might find along
with information about how the fossils were formed, where they
came from, and how long ago each fossil was created. Prehistoric
Fossil Dig is recommended for students in grades K through 6.
This activity must be reserved in advance and is able to accommodate
up to 25 students per half hour.
The
Parrot Habitat
The
Parrot Habitat is a walk-in aviary filled with English Budgies
- small parrots that can be hand-fed by your students. Groups
of up to ten students at a time are given an introductory talk
by our staff prior to entering the exhibit and each student
receives a small cup of bird seed. Upon entering the exhibit,
students hold out their seed cups encouraging the budgies to
come to them and feed from their cups.
The
Parrot Habitat is a great learning experience for children,
giving them an opportunity to have an up-close and personal
encounter with these beautiful birds. The Parrot Habitat is
recommended for students in grades K through 6. This activity
must be reserved in advance and is able to accommodate up to
30 students per half hour.
Gemstone
Mining Adventure
Panning for gemstones is a great activity for students of all
ages. Gemstone Mining Adventure gives students the opportunity
to actually pan for gemstones. Each student’s gemstones
will be different — with rocks and minerals of varying
sizes and shapes — giving every student their very own
collection to take home. At our giant sluiceway they sift through
their mining rough under a stream of running water revealing
a treasure trove of gemstones — including geodes, pyrite,
quartz, jasper and onyx.
Each
student's gemstone collection will be different, with rocks
and minerals of varying sizes and shapes — giving every
child their very own gemstone collection to take home. Each
student also receives a collection bag and a picture card that
illustrates all of the stones that may be discovered, along
with a description of each of the gemstones, what minerals they
contain and where in the world they are found. Gemstone Mining
Adventure is recommended for students in grades K through 6.
This activity must be reserved in advance and is able to accommodate
up to 30 students per half hour.
