"We enjoyed the Dinosaurs Rock program yesterday very much. The children are still talking about it today. All of our teachers and staff that saw the program were very impressed. I thought it was one of the best presentations I have seen."

School Assemblies and After School Programs with DINOSAURS ROCK is a fascinating Dinosaur, Fossil and Mineral Adventure every kid dreams about.

"The students, staff, and administration of Griffin Elementary thoroughly enjoyed the Dinosaur Rocks program. The interactive program which was well-aligned with curriculum gave students an opportunity to participate in a “dig” to find and classify their fossils, rocks, and minerals. The presenters were well-informed and had a great camaraderie with the students and teachers. Each fossil used in the program was interesting and sparked inquiry and higher level questioning. Our campus would recommend this program to any campus interested in bringing in an archeology/paleontology related assembly to your students."

School Assemblies

Our School Assemblies transform your school assembly, classroom or gym into a Museum.  You will have a myriad of museum-quality (many genuine and life-size) dinosaur fossils and other prehistoric related times right in your own school.  The visual display will be amazing!  A great addition to your earth science curriculum.  Kids will be able to see and touch these items up-close, items that are normally only available in a museum.  Why go on a field trip when We Bring The Museum To You?

"The students loved the assembly and all of your information. Many teachers commented in the faculty meeting on Friday how much their students enjoyed the program!! Thank you for coming and sharing your collections and information."

School Assemblies with DINOSAURS ROCK is a lively educational experience for your student school assembly.

Some potential topics we'll cover at your school assembly, using pieces from the museum display for demonstration purposes, include:

Dinosaur Extinction Theory
Plant-eaters vs. Meat-eaters
Demonstration of how museums build exhibits
Prehistoric life outside of dinosaurs - sharks, insects, etc.
Discussion of what Fossils are, how they are formed.
Scientific clues - how we learn about prehistoric life & dinosaurs, e.g. footprints, egg nests ...

Many students are asked to volunteer to be a part of the presentation, which is followed by the ...

FOSSIL DIG

Your School Assembly includes a genuine Fossil Dig.  Your students will have the opportunity to discover and keep genuine fossils.  As they participate in this hands-on activity, they will be awed as they uncover genuine dinosaur bone, shark teeth, ammonites, petrified wood and more.  Best of all, they will be taking some fossils home, the start of their own collection!

Our School Assembly programs can be presented to 50-500 or more students, done in consecutive sessions. Prices start at $500. Call us for pricing details.

We would be happy to tailor the presentation to best complement your teacher/class curriculum and Science Day activities.

After School Programs

Dinosaur Paleontology, Rocks & Minerals: Multiple after school activities with detailed instruction and weekly hands-on, take-home projects. After school program students will be given the opportunity to work with genuine rock we truck back from Montana, Mexico, and Utah and with the use of real tools, discover genuine Dinosaur Teeth, Dinosaur Bones, and unbelievable fossils like Trilobites.

Students who take our Dinosaur after school program will be working on their own private fossil dig and get to keep for their very own collection some very interesting and fascinating fossils like Dinosaur Bone, Petrified Wood, Crinoid Stems, Fossil Coral, Fossil Clams, Fossil Sea Urchin, Trilobites, and an amazing array of Fossil Shark Teeth including Megalodon Shark Teeth.

Our after school program and after school activities allows students to get an intensive review of various types of Dinosaurs, with Museum-quality pieces as the backdrop and for demonstration. Imagine an up-close and personal view of genuine Dinosaur Egg Nests, Meteorites, Dinosaur Teeth, Dinosaur Claws, Dinosaur Footprints, Amber and many other fossils that range from 2-Million to over 500 Million years old.

We bring many genuine pieces as well as replicas (the same pieces you see at Museums around the world) to all of our after school programs. Your students will get to interact with the following: Huge 5Ft+ T-Rex Skull, T-Rex Footprints, Ice-Age Mammals, Coelophysis Skeleton, Edmontosaurus Skull, Saber-Tooth Tiger, Wooly Mammoth, Mastodon, Triceratops, Allosaurus, Apatosaurus Femur, and more.

Other take-home projects your students will get as part of our after school program is as follows. Students participating in after school activities will build and keep some large wooden dinosaurs, learn how replicas are made and make casts of genuine fossils for their own collection. Each week we review interesting facts like: Deciphering Dinosaur Names, Geologic Time Scale, Continental Drift, Dinosaur Classification, How Fossil are Formed and more.

Weather permitting, students during their after school program will Pan for Gems & Minerals with our rushing water Sluice, to keep for their own collection. We will even be breaking open some very cool crystal-filled 100-million year old Geodes that your students can add to their own collection.

After school program students will be exposed so some of the finest museum quality minerals (amethyst, pyrite cubes, citrine, fluorescent minerals) and lots more all from our own private collection.

Students in our after school program will learn about "rocks" that they actually eat on a daily basis. Plus, get samples of rocks and minerals we use regularly. We rarely stop to think about the fact that almost every item in our homes comes from some form of rock or mineral dug up from the earth.

These fascinating topics, coupled with great projects will make for an unforgettable learning experience.
