Homeschool Field Experience Brings Dinosaur Science to Life at Pipestone Creek
Students can take their learning beyond traditional classrooms with an exciting homeschool field experience at the famous Pipestone Creek Bonebed in Wembley. This guided educational adventure offers young explorers the opportunity to visit a real fossil excavation site while discovering the fascinating world of palaeontology through hands on activities and expert guidance.
During the two hour experience, students join experienced palaeontologists on an easy to moderate hike through the remarkable fossil rich landscape. Along the way, they learn about the history of the bonebed, how ancient remains are discovered, and the scientific methods used to study fossils from millions of years ago.
The tour includes a visit to the shed museum, where students can explore important discoveries before continuing to the active excavation area. A highlight of the experience is a stop at the creek, where participants can search for fossils, rocks, and ancient tracks while gaining practical insight into the work of palaeontologists.
