The challenge day will provide e-TASCers with an opportunity to further explorethe topic. Challenge day will be rigorous and challenging designed to further complement the units enduring understanding.

E-TASCers will participate in Fizzics Education Workshop designed to extend us through real hands on learning. on the day we will:


 * Check out life size replica of the Velocicraptor dinosaur skull and come face to face with T-Rex!
 * Work like a real paleaontologist: work as a team member segmenting a dig site, performing the digand recording and analysing the specimans found.
 * Find out how fossils are formed and how it's easy to find them on the beach.
 * Hear what dinosaurs really sound like with sound bites by acoustic engineers
 * Feel replica dinosaur skin and compare it with modern day animals
 * Go beyond dinosaurs to look at Australian megafauna
 * Make casts of ancient creatures and more!

E-TASCers will also have the opportunity to explore museum in a box. These boxes contain a treasure trove of real museum spcimens, casts, artifacts, dioramas, photographs, video and audio tapes, games, books and computer software. Students will complete a myriad of wonderful learning tasks related to dinosaur museum in a box.
