Art of Casting

Grades 4 – 12
$10 per student
60 minutes
Capacity: 15 – 30 students

Art and science merge as students paint a fossil cast and learn why museums make casts. They will discover the importance of fossil casts and how exhibit text is developed to connect specimens with visitors. Once back in the classroom, students can develop their own museum exhibit. We’ll provide teachers with all the necessary information to help with their students’ projects.


Please Note:

Minimum program fees will be charged for groups of fewer than 15 students.
