Cabrillo Summer Youth Program - Little Paleontologists
Discover the ancient world and the creatures who lived in it: the ferocious Tyrannosaurus rex, the massive shark Megalodon, the soaring pterosaurs, and many, many more. Step into the shoes of a paleontologist as we learn about the most impressive creatures to ever live on planet Earth, and how we know what we know about them.
Throughout the week, learn about the science of paleontology through hands-on activities developed by our resident dinosaur scientist. From plate tectonics and rebuilding ancient worlds, to identifying and excavating fossils, each of the activities are based on the latest science and uses the same techniques and tools as scientists in the fields of geology and paleontology.
Students will take home an excavated model fossil and other projects created throughout the week to continue their paleontological adventures!
