Jurassic Paleobotany

Students become paleobotanists in Jurassic Paleobotany, searching Jurassic Park for foliage from the era of the dinosaurs and comparing their findings to fossils to make identifications. Working in groups, students use tablets to photograph plants and plot their locations on a map of the area, experiencing the rush of scientific discovery in the process.

This program is provided by the "Your Classroom in Motion: A STEAM App Series" which combines national and state education standards with real-world critical thinking to transform our top attractions into creative learning environments, with extraordinary education opportunities in SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, the ARTS, and MATHEMATICS.
