Скачать или смотреть Middle School Students Animate Ancient Fossils

From hunting fossils in Big Brook, New Jersey, to digitally modeling a long-extinct sea animal, students in the Museum's 2011 Virtual Worlds Institute received an exciting introduction to paleobiology this summer.

The Virtual Worlds Institute, which was developed in consultation with Museum scientists and educators and in partnership with Science House, challenged middle school students to create 3-D digital models of ancient sea life from the late Cretaceous period using a digital sculpting tool called Sculptris and a high-fidelity virtual worlds platform called Blue Mars. Drawing on the Museum's world-renown fossil collections, students learned to interpret fossil evidence to form hypotheses about extinct animals and bring them to life.
