April is Dinosaur Month at Evergreen Aviation

Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum will host a month-long series of dinosaur and paleontology events, beginning with the premiere of Dinosaurs Alive 3D in the Evergreen IMAX Theater on Friday, April 3, 2009.

Dinosaurs Alive 3D is a global adventure of science and discovery, starring the early dinosaurs of the Triassic Period to the later monsters of the Creataceous. It brings dinosaurs, their behavior and their ancient environments to life.

On Thursday, April 9, the Museum will hose a Dinosaur Home School Day from 9:00a.m. to 2 p.m., which will include hands on activities, a Dinosaurs Alive 3D special showing, and a presentation by Dr. William Orr, the executive director of the Thomas Condon State Museum of Fossils and retired professor of geology from the University of Oregon. Students will learn how fossils are created, what conditions were like during the time of the dinosaurs, the geographical areas where dinosaurs lived and even how to become archaeologists.

The month long series concludes with Dinosaurs Come Alive! on Saturday, April 18th from 9:00am to Noon. Dr. Edward Davis, with the Dept. of Geology at the University of Oregon, will be present and speak. The lecture is aimed for youth of all ages, the presentation will be followed by dinosaur themed crafts and activities and a special screening of Dinosaurs Alive 3D.
