Joseph "PaleoJoe" Kchodl
Dinosaur Day with PaleoJoe – Join PaleoJoe as he briefly describes different stages of the earth’s development, how the earth was formed, the way fossils are formed – all while following National Curriculum Standards and Benchmarks – reinforcing what teachers teach in school. A brief description of types of fossils leads into the Ice Age of North America and is followed by everyone’s favorite – DINOSAURS. A spirited discussion of the herbivores and carnivores that once dominated the earth. Learn how we know what we know by looking at the dinosaurs themselves for clues. T-REX and Velociraptor play a major role in this part of the presentation.
