Delving Into Dinosaurs

Dinosaur Digs
Grades K-2 | Thursday and Friday | Maximum 40 students

The world of dinosaurs was very different from the world in which we live today. Students will dig into the past by investigating fossils and tracks left behind from dinosaurs and other organisms.

TEKS: K.2 A, B, E; K.5 A; K.6 C; K.9 A, B; 1.2 A- D, E; 1.6 A; 1. 10 A; 2.2 A, B; 2.3 C; 2.9 A, B

Dinosaur Defenses
Grades 3-5 | Thursday and Friday | Maximum 40 students

Students discover the adaptations and defenses dinosaurs needed for survival in a world that was very different from our own. Transform a student into a unique dinosaur in "Designasaur", and investigate what fossils can teach us about dinosaur defenses.

TEKS: 3.3 D; 3.7 A; 3.9 C; 3.10 A; 4.3 C, D; 4.10 A; 5.7 D; 5.10 A, B

Dinosaur Detectives
Grades 6-12 | Thursday and Friday | Maximum 40 students

How do you decipher the clues of prehistoric life? Students explore the science of paleontology and the fossilization process by conducting laboratory examinations. Students will explore fossils and fossil replicas while using classification skills and investigate tracks to uncover a hidden dinosaur story.

TEKS: 6.2 B, C; 6.12 C; 7.2 A, B, C; 8.2 A, C; 8.4 A; Earth and Space Science 2 F; 8 A-C

Sensational Science Showcases

Solids, Liquids and Gases
Grades K-2 | Mondays – Fridays | Maximum 75 students
Students discover the differences between solids, liquids, and gases and better understand some of the relationships between energy and matter.

TEKS: K.2 A, D; K.5 A, B; K.7 A, B;1.2 A, D, E; 1.5 B; 2.5 A. B, C; 2.8 C

What's Hot? What's Not?
Grades 3-5 | Mondays – Fridays | Maximum 150 students
Heat things up with experiments that explore how the addition and removal of heat energy changes the world around you. Students observe heat expansion, contraction, conduction, convection, and radiation.

TEKS: 3.4 B; 3.5 C; 3.6 A; 4.4 B; 4.5 B; 4.6 A, B; 5.4 B; 5.5 A; 5.6 A

Reactions in Action
Grades 6-12 | Mondays – Fridays | Maximum 150 students
Students examine chemical properties and investigate the causes of chemical change.

TEKS: 6.2 A, B; 6.4 B; 6.5 A, C, D; 7.2 A, B; 7.4 B;7.6 B,C; 8.2 A, B; 8.3 B; 8.4 B; 8.5 E; Chemistry 1 A; 4 A; 5 B; 10 G, H

Fantastic Forces
Grades 6-12 | Mondays – Fridays | Maximum 150 students
Students observe the "push/pull" of gravity, Newton's Three Laws of Motion, and the scientific secrets of everyday things.

TEKS: 6.2 A, B; 6.8 A, B; 6.11 B; 7.2 A, B; 7.4 B; 7.7 A; 8.2 A, B; 8.3 D; 8.4 B; 8.6 A, B, C; Integrated Physics and Chemistry 3 F; 4 A, C, D- F; 5 D; Physics 2 F; 3 D; 4 B, C, D; 5 B; 6 D
