Please check your visit itinerary letter to ensure that the details for your excursion are correct. 2. Read the guidelines about Planning your school and group visit for general hints on familiarising your students with the Museum, organising groups, learning in a Museum context and follow up investigation. If there is a problem with your booking, please call Group Bookings on 07 3840 7608 (8:15am – 3:30pm). 3. Familiarise yourself with the contents of the exhibition. The section ‘Explore‐a‐saurus exhibition description’ describes the content and concepts of each of the exhibits. Use this to focus your students’ investigations to the themes and displays that are specific to your area of interest. 4. Take some time in class to discuss your excursion to the Queensland Museum and assess student knowledge and understanding of the relevant topics. Research has shown that setting objectives for a museum visit is extremely important for students. It makes the purpose of the visit clear to them and assists their ability to focus and cooperate during the visit. Creating interest in the subject is vital to a successful and enjoyable visit to Queensland Museum & Sciencentre. What to do during a visit to Explore-a-saurus A number of resources are provided in this document to support student learning within the exhibition and also in the classroom. These can be modified to match the learning focus and needs of your group. During their visit, students can explore the activities in each exhibit. Further activities (page 21) can be used in the classroom to create discussion and review, reinforce or extend the ideas introduced in the exhibits. Students can record evidence of learning during their visit. This could be in written form, or as audio or video records of their learning. http://www.southbank.qm.qld.gov.au/Events+and+Exhibitions/Exhibitions/2012/11/Explore‐a‐ saurus/Learning+resources 4 Explore-a-saurus Teacher notes Explore‐a‐saurus exhibition components Might of a T. rex bite Dinosaur hide and seek http://www.southbank.qm.qld.gov.au/Events+and+Exhibitions/Exhibitions/2012/11/Explore‐a‐ saurus/Learning+resources 5 Explore-a-saurus Teacher notes Ancient plants Paintasaurus Research has provided us with some clues concerning the colouration of dinosaurs.

Trackasaurus Note: While some palaeontologists think the large footprints belong to a plant‐eating dinosaur, similar to Muttaburrasaurus, Queensland Museum palaeontologist, Dr. Scott Hocknull, is currently undertaking research on the Lark Quarry trackways and thinks the most likely footprint maker was Australovenator. There are many more discoveries at Lark Quarry that are yet to be confirmed.

    Discovering Dinosaurs & Sea Monsters Yellow Brick Road Trip Eighty million years ago, Kansas was an inland sea. The ground we now walk on was once an ocean floor filled with huge fish, swimming birds, and reptiles. Gigantic meat-eaters called mosasaurs ruled the ocean. The remains of the animals that swam and flew during this era were remarkably preserved and are on display at several attractions in Kansas. 1. Museum at Prairiefire 4.

  • Chapter 1 Paleontology As a Science
    Chapter 1 Paleontology as a science Key points • The key value of paleontology has been to show us the history of life through deep time – without fossils this would be largely hidden from us. • Paleontology has strong relevance today in understanding our origins, other distant worlds, climate and biodiversity change, the shape and tempo of evolution, and dating rocks. • Paleontology is a part of the natural sciences, and a key aim is to reconstruct ancient life. • Reconstructions of ancient life have been rejected as pure speculation by some, but careful consideration shows that they too are testable hypotheses and can be as scientifi c as any other attempt to understand the world. • Science consists of testing hypotheses, not in general by limiting itself to absolute cer- tainties like mathematics. • Classical and medieval views about fossils were often magical and mystical. • Observations in the 16th and 17th centuries showed that fossils were the remains of ancient plants and animals. • By 1800, many scientists accepted the idea of extinction. • By 1830, most geologists accepted that the Earth was very old. • By 1840, the major divisions of deep time, the stratigraphic record, had been established by the use of fossils. • By 1840, it was seen that fossils showed direction in the history of life, and by 1860 this had been explained by evolution. • Research in paleontology has many facets, including fi nding new fossils and using quan- titative methods to answer questions about paleobiology, paleogeography, macroevolu- tion, the tree of life and COPYRIGHTEDdeep time. MATERIAL All science is either physics or stamp collecting.

The BBC Trust is the governing body of the BBC and it is our responsibility to get the best out of the BBC for licence fee payers. As part of this commitment, we carry out an in- depth review of each of the BBC’s services at least once every five years. In this report we review the BBC Red Button service. 2. BBC Red Button (known as BBCi until 2008) is the BBC’s interactive television service. It provides viewers with a range of video, audio, pictures, text and applications accessible through their digital televisions and it replaces Ceefax (the BBC’s analogue teletext service) as digital switchover takes place. 3. The Trust sets out what it expects from each of the BBC’s services in a published service licence. Our review had three main aims: first, to assess how well BBC Red Button is performing against the commitments set out in its service licence; second, to consider the service’s future direction; and, third, to determine whether amendments to the existing service licence are necessary.

  • Wednesday, May 6, 2020
    Wednesday, May 6, 2020 Hello, BSS community! As May is now upon us, the word “closure” has been weighing heavily on our minds. How do we create some sort of closure for both our students and staff? How can we somehow replace end-of-the-year celebrations like field day, 8th grade graduation, teacher swap day, and our final Circle Song of the school year? In reality, nothing we do during this strange time will replace what would take place inside the church and school with all of us together. But, given the circumstances, what we can do is try to fill the voids quarantine has created the best we can. On May 20th starting at 4:00 p.m., BSS staff members will be lined (socially-distanced) in the parking lot behind the church and school to host a “reverse parade” for students and families. This is a safe way for students to see teachers and staff and gain some closure of the school year. Students can make signs/decorate their cars for the occasion! We would love to see our Eagles in BSS Spirit Wear for as well! Attached is the route for the parade. Follow the path of the regular car line, entering at the South end of the BSS property by the digital sign. In an effort to avoid the line backing up onto Dixie Highway, please don’t fully stop your car during the parade. Below are suggested times for families to come through the route to minimize congestion. Again, these times are suggested, so if that time window doesn’t work for your family, please still come anytime between 4:00-5:30.
