It’s Saturday morning and the Weather Channel states that its 46 degrees @ 6:05 am…not bad. In the spirit of Saturday, I was looking for something fun for the family to do, when I ran across a great website. My kids are huge dinosaur fans and the Utah Geological Survey Dept. is offering this fun Dinosaur and Ice Age teaching kit…it contain authentic and cast specimens, slides, publications, and other teaching aids; each kit is available for two-week loan with a $25.00 refundable deposit.
Also, The Utah Friends of Paleontology offers a certification program for volunteers which prepares them to work with professional paleontologists and to teach others in the community about the field. Objectives are to have each participant:
• Develop a general knowledge of the history, laws, ethics, and values of paleontology.
• Understand general geological principles and be able to recognize the formations and matrixes in which fossils are formed.
• Achieve a basic ability to recognize and classify plant and animal fossils.
• Be able to record paleontological site data on official forms.
• Be able to assist a professional in a paleontological laboratory.
• Be able to assist a professional in a paleontological excavation.
• Be able to teach or interpret paleontology in an elementary way to general audiences such as school children.
• Understand paleontological activities in the context of scholarly research.
O.K. today its 4.18.09, and another great Saturday in Saint George Utah…in an attempt to keep up with the many request for different types of Southern Utah Real Estate Listings, I keep this daily updated blog with live links for the different search criteria that I receive the most requests for.
