This new, standards aligned investigation uses an impressive collection of ceratopsian fossils from the Natural History Museum of Utah's paleontology collections to support students in their work to analyze and interpret data from the fossil record central to their research question. Specfically, students will identify patterns and phenomena that illustrate the existence, diversity, extinction, and change of ceratopsians over the 100 million years they lived on Earth. The investigation is organi

First of three separate, standards-aligned investigations designed to take your middle school students and you on an adventure to research some of the biggest questions paleontologists have asked about this world-renowned dinosaur quarry. Can be taught as a stand alone investigation or as a complete set with What Happened at the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry? and What Physical Features Helped Dinosaurs Survive? Either way your students will use 3D scanned images of our fossils, receive exper

Using a combination of museum specimens, simulations, and authentic data, your students will explore rapid changes being observed in the Uinta Mountains of Utah. Each of the four investigations targets a key question about the ecosystem and can be used alone or in combination with What's Killing the Trees? Who Wins and Who Loses in a Rapidly Changi

Triceratops Traits, a virtual investigation from the Natural History Museum of Utah, helps students explore how the triceratops evolved over time. Using the Nearpod platform, this investigation engages students in gathering and analyzing data and allows teachers to see students' participation and responses. Fantastic for 6th-8th Grade science classrooms!
