Youth will create a capsule in either a small box or envelope. The capsule will include a picture of themselves, and a small letter about who they are when they wrote it.

Youth will learn a bit about some past inventions, and what inventions may look like in the future. Youth will brainstorm ways that humans plan for the future and ways we can keep our Earth healthy for years to come.

Youth will learn about excavation techniques, then do their own virtual excavation!

Youth will play a game that will help them understand radioactive dating and radioactive decay!

In this activity, youth will learn about past climates by counting "pollen grains" in "sediment samples" from a lake.

Youth will learn about the basics of archeology and what famous artifacts were used for.

Youth will be using simulated tree core samples to infer climatic characteristics of the past and learn how researchers continue to use these useful tools today.

In this activity, youth will compare different methods of preservation in various environments to see which one is the most effective, and will have the chance to preserve their own

Youth are challenged to match the corresponding fossils and environments with the information they have available. Youth will create environments themselves and place the correct fossils in the right environment, learning about where certain fossils are from and how to identify them.

Youth will put together a fossil bone puzzle, create their own dinosaur skeleton and assemble the rest of it to reflect it’s physical design.

Youth will create their own rocks to investigate how sediment becomes molded together to form rock. Youth will also learn how bones, rocks and other debris become fossils after sediment hardens.

Youth will learn about the timeline of the history of the Earth, then make their own timeline to scale and predict when important events occurred.

Youth will learn about the history of Earth through figuring out which event happened first! Youth will also learn the closest living relative of some iconic prehistoric animals!
