Weighing dinosaurs weighty topic for Saturday Club
By: Lisa S. Icenogle
The weight of dinosaurs will be tackled at the November edition of the Tate Geological Museum’s popular Saturday Club.
Students will use the principle of volumetric displacement on scale-sized models of dinosaurs to determine how much each animal actually weighed in life. Taught by Museum Education Specialist Russell Hawley, the session will run from 10:30-11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 4.
Saturday Club is free and open to children ages 7-14. The Tate Geological Museum is located on the southern end of the Casper College campus; look for the life-sized T.rex bronze near the Tate or call the museum at 307-268-2447.
