At Educational Innovations, we love helping teachers come up with new, exciting ways to explore science topics with their students. And let’s face it, what child doesn’t love dinosaurs and fossils?
The fact is, there are just so many ways to bring this subject into the classroom like activities and experiments that we couldn’t decide on a single lesson that would appeal to all students and teachers. Luckily, the “interwebs” are chockful of excellent lesson ideas.

Dinosaurs inspire curiosity and wonder in scientists of all ages. With the help of Educational Innovations’ Home Science Lab: Tabletop Fossil Safari, young learners can conduct investigations at home to dynamically discover how fossils were created millions of years ago, and to better understand how they continue to be unearthed by paleontologists today. Everything you need comes in the nifty Home Science Lab box: six activities organized in a booklet filled with easy-to-follow instructions, whimsical illustrations and photographs, assorted chemicals, household items, and of course, real fossils!
It’s so easy, even a grandmother can do it. Seriously!
