Discover Our Programs

We offer six separate Earth Science on Wheels programs, each with a different emphasis.

Dinosaur Discovery

Experience the world of dinosaurs! Discover their lives, diets, and adaptations through interactive presentations. Meet real fossilized specimens and marvel at their bones, horns, claws, teeth, and skin. Learn what makes dinosaurs incredible!

Dynamic Earth

Investigate tectonic plates, natural disasters, weathering and erosion in this interactive, fast-paced trip of geologic proportions through the Earth’s crust. Volcanoes, earthquakes, and landslides, oh my! Beneath the surface of our ever-changing, dynamic planet, hidden dangers lurk deep within. In this presentation, students will examine tectonic plates and discover the chaos they can create when seismic shifts occur; investigate how the landscape transforms through weathering and erosion; and see how the layers of the Earth stack up. Explore the moving Earth beneath our feet as we traverse the Earth’s crust!

Recommended for 3rd Grade and above

Science Sort

Students have the opportunity to play paleontologist, as they sift through fossilized sediment to find shark teeth, shells and more! Learn about the many kinds of fossils there are, how they are made, and what various fossil types can tell us about ancient life, while preparing to embark on a mini fossil dig. Next, analyze and compare findings to a fossil identification guide, using the scientific process to determine the origin of fossils uncovered. This interactive, hands-on, inquiry based lab presentation is great for grades 2nd and up, and a wonderful reinforcement for TEKS earth science objectives. Book this program, and see what it’s like to be a paleontologist for a day!
