JoinPrimary Paleontologists: Students "dig in" to excavate buried "fossils"
Prior to the students' dig, each second-grade teacher digs and models the role of an excavation expert in the same square of the dig site. This simulated dig is a memorable culmination to classroom study of dinosaurs. The dig reinforces what students have learned about dinosaurs and paleontology and allows them to apply this knowledge in a hands-on science experience.
