Extractions: NEW YORK The American Museum of Natural History offers digging Up the Past, a workshop for kids 9-10 that shows how life developed on earth. By excavating and making their own fossils, children discover how fossils are found and how they provide clues to the past. For more information on this and other children's workshops, call (212) 769-5200. New York City high school students can take several after-school classes in human evolution and the application of physical and cultural anthropological techniques. Classes include free laboratory work and demonstrations. They are held from 4-6 p.m., once a week for five weeks. To get on the mailing list or find out about classes offered at the museum, call Anna Marchini at (212) 769-5906. The Paleontological Research Institution in Ithaca offers programs every second Saturday of the month, when kids can bring in a fossil to be identified by a staff member. All events are free to members; nonmembers pay $2. To find out information on specific events scheduled for 2001, paleo-lovers should log on to www.priweb.org
Extractions: Published by Cloud 9 Interactive Wanna Be A Dino Finder CD-ROM offers an interactive multimedia adventure into the prehistoric age of dinosaurs. Price: $34.95. ISBN: 1-8894-9800-9. WIN/MAC CD-ROM. Wanna-Be A Dino Finder provides an interactive, fun-filled opportunity for children to learn more about paleontology, the science of locating and excavating dinosaurs. Children will be captivated with the magnificent animation and the facinating dinosaurs. With the help of Katie the Cameleon, Rufus the Dog, and Addie the Kangaroo, the "Wanna-Be Three," children will be eager to assist Dr. Rock Hound who is desperately in need of prehistoric creatures for an exhibit. The game begins with Dr. Rock Hound explaining what creature he needs, then the mission starts from Dr. Rock Hound's Tent. Within the tent itself, a player can explore many exciting and informational options. A timeline chart displays the time periods of the earth, and it can be clicked on to reveal pre-historic animals of each era. A box of bones can be clicked for various dinosaur facts. Certificates on the wall show a player's progress from ditch digger to Four-Star Fossil Finder and discuss how to become a paleontologist. A picture frame can be touched for an explanation of prominent paleontologists of the past or present. Finally, a wall map of the continents displays the six dig sites - Canada, USA, Africa, Europe, Asia, and South America. Clicking on a location transports the player and tent to the dig site so excavation can begin!
