Educational Programs
The children are transported to the excavation site of the Petrified Forest of Lesvos along the road Kalloni – Sigri. Through a research route along the new road, they observe the works carried out at the construction site of the Petrified Forest, discover information about the conservation works and their results, identify and record the tools. At the same time, they identify and map the fossils, rocks, volcanic, tectonic and geomorphological structures, which they encounter.
In the educational program ‘’The adventures of little Dinoulis in the forest with the Sequoias’’, through theatrical play, the children embody roles from the dramatized history of the Petrified Forest and experience the way of its creation.
In the educational program ‘’Volcanoes and volcanic geosites of Lesvos’’, the children are invited to travel mentally millions of years back to the geological past of Lesvos, the Aegean and Greece and to become familiar with phenomena and processes that cannot be directly observed, such as the volcanic activity.
School groups have the opportunity to choose an educational visit to the Museum, which includes:
Special educational presentation for the creation of the Petrified Forest
In the educational program ‘’Young Paleontologists’’, the children play the role of a Paleontologist and begin an excavation to find and identify parts of fossil plants.
