Gemstone Mining
Investigate the fascinating world of rocks, gems, and minerals! Students will mine for treasures in our portable running water sluice, then use identification and sorting techniques to examine and classify what they find.
Students can take home their treasures!
This program must be held outdoors with access to running water (via hose) to operate the portable sluice.
Prehistoric Adventure
How do we know that there really were dinosaurs? Fossils can give us information about Earth’s past and bring to life a prehistoric world before we were here to see it. Explore fossils from the museum’s collection and learn about the amazing prehistoric animals that they represent. Find you own miniature specimens during a tabletop fossil hunt.
