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).
