Working in groups, students will explore the mechanics of how dinosaurs moved, by comparing them to living animals. Using their mathematical skills, they will take measurements of dinosaur skeletons in Dinosaur Hall. A discussion afterwards allows them to share their findings with their classmates.
Please Note:
Available September to March.
Minimum program fees will be charged for groups of fewer than 15 students.
