Fabulous Fossils | Pearl Avenue Library

August 24, 2024 @ 2:00 pm 3:00 pm

Events at the local libraries.

Today: Fabulous Fossils at Pearl Avenue Library.

“Fabulous Fossils” is an engaging workshop about fossil identification and how fossils are formed, and is presented by Science Smart Kids teacher, Ildiko Stennis. Children (age 5 to 12) will observe real fossil samples of some of the following specimens: ammonites, brachiopods, clam, coral, crinoid stem, diatomite, dinosaur bone, petrified wood, shark teeth and trilobite. Children will use photographs and an identification key to learn about these ancient creatures. In addition to the hands-on science activities, children’s books and crafts will be incorporated in the workshop in order to enhance the understanding of the science concepts. Each child will make a sample of a trace fossil to take home. (Estimated time: 45-60 minutes).
