R.O.C.K.S. Videos Now Available on YouTube

A year ago, Randall Irmis and colleagues at the Natural History Museum of Utah wrote a newsletter article describing their R.O.C.K.S. project (Real Opportunities to Connect Kids with Scientists). A key component of the project is a suite of videos that encourage students to use science process skills to explore the world of paleontology. With the support from the Paleontological Society and Bureau of Land Management, the videos are now available on YouTube. Check them out at the links below.
