Junior Museum Skills Workshop: Ice Age Paleontology

Paleontologists study fossils to uncover what life was like thousands of years ago. Bring your kid so they can become a junior paleontologist and learn about the animals that lived in Alberta during the Ice Age.

In this workshop, participants will get hands-on with real fossils and learn the skills that help paleontologists make their discoveries. Learn how to tell the difference between Ice Age fossils and how to piece together Alberta’s frozen past.

This workshop is designed for youth in Grades 4–8 (ages 9–14); no previous experience is required.

Note: Due to limited space, this is a drop-off activity; parents cannot accompany participants during the workshop.
