During the Coronovirus, many museums were shut down. I have been given permission by the Virginia Museum of Natural History to use their pictures of their fossils and exhibits in this virtual museum. Student can access this on their chromebook or pc. The displays are inquiry based and students are encouraged to fill in the attached worksheet as they tour the museum.
The Virginia Museum of Natural History has given permission for pictures of fossils and their exhibits to be used in this virtual museum. Students can examine the latest exhibits on the Cretaceous Seaway and ask why was it there over the United States 87 million years ago. What are the oldest fossils in Virginia. They can examine evidence from Catawba Mountain just West of Roanoke to formulate hypotheses as to way so many marine species perished 450 million years ago.
