Students learn about paleontology

Holley fifth-grader Derek Kohmann reads information he wrote about dinosaurs to his schoolmates. He was part of a target group of students who worked with science educator Ron Walker (right) during a weeklong residency entitled "Paleontologists: Fossil Detectives," a Project ADEPT through Monroe 2-Orleans BOCES. The residency gave students an opportunity to learn how paleontologists go about their work, theorize reasons for dinosaur extinction, make fossils, and think about the geological history of New York in new ways.
