HOW have scientists used fossil evidence to reconstruct the past?

HOW can teachers use students' interests in fossils to enhance their curiosity and learning?

Join us in this special workshop Learning from the Fossil Record. The morning session includes a series of interactive, hands-on experiences in using paleontology to teach science.

Highlights include:
  • A close look at what the fossils tell us;
  • Paleontology and the World Wide Web;
  • Vertebrate microfossils - the perfect fossils for the classroom;
  • A complimentary copy of a 300-page book full of information,
    activities, and resources;
  • Admission to all afternoon technical sessions.
