Many of our visitors ask how they can learn more about the interesting facts and informative exhibits in our museum. Of course we always recommend people to our great resources in our gift shop. We also have 12 different science classes designed just specifically present information from our museum exhibits in a more detailed way to help you and your students expand your knowledge of creation. What more is that we have designed our Specialized Science Classes to meet many of Ohio’s K-12 Science Standards!

  Our Specialized Science Classes focus on the “hands-on” aspect of learning. We answer hard questions about topics like the limitations of natural selection and heredity, dinosaur extinction theories, reasons for a young solar system, the catastrophic nature of the geologic column, and the timeframe of the Ice Age, and weather and design patterns in nature. Current issues and recent scientific discoveries (such as global warming) are also discussed in our classes.

Life Sciences

Ohio History
Study beavers, mastodons and other creatures from Ohio’s fossil record. Compare and classify Ohio plants and describe changes in their appearance over the seasons. Also explore features (with maps) left by glaciers during the Ice Age..

Heredity and Natural Selection
Compare similarities and differences among individuals of the same kind of plants and animals, including people. Are similarities evidence of common descent or a common creator?

Plants in the Fossil Record
Compare living plants with plants from the fossil record. Explore coal formation theories and learn about plants and how they are necessary for life. Investigate ways in which animals depend on plants and each other in our community.

Fossils from Around the World
Fossils provide evidence about animals from the past and the nature of the environment at that time. Observe that extinct organism resemble organism alive today. Why?

Dinosaur Extinction Theories
Learn about the dinosaurs from their fossils. Discover the limitations scientists have when reconstructing the dinosaurs. Compare dinosaur fossil sites from around the world. Take a historical look at dinosaurs and their correlation with dragon legends.


Science and Technology

Ancient Technology
Explore and interpret surprising lost advanced technologies from different ancient people groups around the world. See authentic and working replica artifacts and learn how the ancient may have used them.

Class Requirements
You can schedule a class for your group of 10 or more students (our classes can be modified for any age, including adults).

Classes Include
Each class includes a professional PowerPoint slide presentation, hands-on illustrations, and a related experiment.

All classes include:
  - PowerPoint slideshow
  - Review sheets
  - Experiment (supplies cost charged separately as needed)

All of our classes are taught from a creation view point and are consistent with the theme and mission of the Science Center so that students can explore our science exhibits in greater detail.


Class Location
Our classes can be given at the museum or at your location. Please contact us for prices.
