Join in for this free session where students will travel millions of years into the past as paleontologists! Students will discover how fossils form, what fossils can tell us about prehistoric life, and how scientists reconstruct extinct animals.

Acting as paleontologists, students will participate in a mock fossil excavation, uncovering and identifying hidden “fossils” and using their evidence to figure out what lived there long ago. Students will gain a deeper understanding of what studying paleontology could look like as a future career.

Taught by two accomplished Notre Dame Prep STEM students, this interactive class encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and scientific discovery.

Perfect for students in grades 1–5, including homeschool and traditional school learners.

Space is limited, and registration is required.
