This month – Paleontology 101 - An Introduction to Paleontology & Fossils! Covering specimens from the earliest invertebrates to vertebrates alike, this lecture will focus on the origin of the fossil record as well as the various methods of fossilization. To complete your understanding of the topics covered, you will be encouraged to touch and examine a variety of specimens of actual fossils, models, and specimen. After class, you may go and explore the Morian Hall of Paleontology at your leisure to discover some of the things you learned about.
This class is set up for students in grades 7-12. We will meet in classroom 24.
With payment of the class, you (the parent) will receive a chaperone sticker at no additional cost, which will allow you to tour all regular exhibit halls (alone, or with other children) during and after your child's class. I will need two parents to stay in the classroom as chaperones in case I am unable to attend, please let me know if you are available.
On class day, please get your sticker at the school check-in podium located by the museum entrance, then make your way downstairs to the classroom. The quickest way to get downstairs is by using the elevators in the back by the Morian Hall of Paleontology entrance. Go to LL, take a right into the hallway, and follow signs to the classrooms.
Please be mindful of Houston traffic, and plan on leaving your house early enough to allow extra time to get to HMNS. Museum parking at the garage is $6. Just go to the box office and ask for a chaperone parking pass. You will need to show them your green chaperone sticker. There are other parking opportunities nearby, ranging from free to $10/day, but some may require a bit of walking. Limited 3 hr. free parking is available next to the museum, but those spots fill up quickly.
Sign-ups are open until January 2nd, and payment is due upon sign up! The cost is $17 per child. Please pay electronically immediately after you sign up.
Please make sure the dates and times of all classes you sign up for work for your schedule. We are unable to offer refunds, as the museum needs to be paid. Failure to submit payment in a timely manner may result in your child being dropped from the class.
If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected].
