Museum ProgramsEchoes from the Past
Did the dinosaurs go extinct because of some fatal flaw, or was it just bad luck? Could the same thing happen to us? Through the comparison of conditions surrounding past extinctions and conditions today, participants discuss modern issues such as climate change. Students then graph real data and identify correlations between trends; including changing sea levels, atmospheric gases, and volcanic eruptions.
This is an advanced level academic program requiring student participation.
