Homeschool Day at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History
November 8, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 2:30 pm
Homeschool Day: November 8, 2017
Homeschoolers! Come experience a day of learning and exploration at the Sam Noble Museum. Homeschool students and groups are invited to participate in hands-on, educational science programs focusing on discovering the natural world.
Cost is $10 for student and one adult. Additional adults attending program are $7 each. Siblings not participating in programs must pay admission to be admitted into the museum. Prices include the education program and general museum admission.
Meet the Dinosaurs (Grades K – 2) 10 to 10:30 a.m.
What kinds of dinosaurs roamed Oklahoma? Were they meat eaters or plant eaters? Did they have sharp teeth, large claws or other interesting adaptations? Students will discover the answer to these and other questions as they examine fossils and participate in Cretaceous role-playing.
Dinosaur Feasts (Grades 3-6) 11 a.m. to noon
What do scientists know about what and how dinosaurs ate? Students will compare dinosaur fossils and modern animal specimens to discover how both carnivorous and herbivorous dinosaurs crunched and munched their food.
Mysteries of the Mesozoic (Grades 7-12) 1 to 2:30 p.m.
What can you tell about a prehistoric animal from a single fossil? Students will find out by uncovering clues from the Mesozoic era, the age of dinosaurs. Student teams will participate in an excavation simulation at one of six “sites.” They will collect data and then analyze their findings using principles of comparative anatomy.
