Educator-Led ProgramsSecrets of the Lost Quarry
Now available in French/Maintenant disponible en français!
In the early 20th century, fossil hunters did not always document their excavation sites and key information was often lost. With the students' help, we locate and uncover one of these lost quarries. During this interactive, multi-media program, participants experience the badlands and discover how scientists find fossils.
Pendant le début du vingtième siècle, les chercheurs de fossiles oubliaient souvent de noter ou ils trouvaient les fossiles et de l’information très importante était oublié. Avec l’aide des étudiants, on départ sur une aventure pour en retrouver un site oublié. Parmi ce programme multimédia et interactif les participants vont découvrir les « mauvaises terres » d’Alberta et aussi apprendre comment les scientifiques trouvent les fossiles.
