Homeschool Day: Fossil Discoveries
2020-02-06 09:30 - 16:00
The fossil record tells us about environments and events from long ago, and helps us make decisions about the future. At the Natural History Museum, our Dinosaur Institute houses fossils that have been acquired over nearly a century—and our paleontologists are still making new discoveries every day!
This Homeschool Day, learn what NHM paleontologists uncovered during recent exciting excavations, run into dinosaurs at our Dinosaur Encounters show, and talk with museum educators about our extensive fossil collections in drop-in programs all around the museum.
