Teacher Resource Guides

The Museum is developing a series of free pre and post-visit resource guides to help teachers make the most of our education programs for their students. Currently four guides are ready to download, but more will be available soon. You will need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader if it is not installed on your computer.

Dinosaur Picnic
Fossil Casting

Resource-a-saurus Rex

The Resource-a-saurus rex is a comprehensive teacher's guide of classroom palaeontology activities for students of all ages. Topics include geology, fossil dating, casting, palaeoenvironments and, of course, dinosaurs. Complete with ready-to-copy worksheets and easy to understand instructions; this manual is an essential addition to any school library.

Grades: Kindergarten - 3

Cost: $3.00/copy (including GST)

Grades 9 -12 Level 3 Worksheet (Download Now) | (Download Answer Key)

To protect our displays and to make it easier for students to complete their worksheets,we recommend bringing along a hard surface to write on (such as a clipboard, binder, or duo-tang). We also ask that students use pencils instead of pens -- it's easier to erase an accidental pencil mark than paint over ink! Thank you.
