Discover Our Programs
Dinosaur Discovery
Experience the world of dinosaurs! Discover their lives, diets, and adaptations through interactive presentations. Meet real fossilized specimens and marvel at their bones, horns, claws, teeth, and skin. Learn what makes dinosaurs incredible!
Dynamic Earth
Investigate tectonic plates, natural disasters, weathering and erosion in this interactive, fast-paced trip of geologic proportions through the Earth’s crust. Volcanoes, earthquakes, and landslides, oh my! Beneath the surface of our ever-changing, dynamic planet, hidden dangers lurk deep within. In this presentation, students will examine tectonic plates and discover the chaos they can create when seismic shifts occur; investigate how the landscape transforms through weathering and erosion; and see how the layers of the Earth stack up. Explore the moving Earth beneath our feet as we traverse the Earth’s crust!
Recommended for 3rd Grade and above
Science Sort
Students have the opportunity to play paleontologist, as they sift through fossilized sediment to find shark teeth, shells and more! Learn about the many kinds of fossils there are, how they are made, and what various fossil types can tell us about ancient life, while preparing to embark on a mini fossil dig. Next, analyze and compare findings to a fossil identification guide, using the scientific process to determine the origin of fossils uncovered. This interactive, hands-on, inquiry based lab presentation is great for grades 2nd and up, and a wonderful reinforcement for TEKS earth science objectives. Book this program, and see what it’s like to be a paleontologist for a day!

Know Your Rocks
Learn more about the geologic cycle all rocks are born from and the many everyday uses of rocks and minerals! This presentation introduces students to rock classification and the rock cycle, using hands-on, interactive activities to reinforce concepts learned. Students will have the chance to be a geologist as they classify rock specimens in all stages of the cycle, delving into the amazing processes which transform them. Explore the differences between rocks and minerals, while discovering the many practical applications they are used for every day. See why rocks and minerals are so fascinating, and how they make up an essential part of our lives!
