GVCS Field Trip 2007-2008

Page Museum at the La Brea Tarpits

 

Golden Valley Charter School is sponsoring 5 field trips for the 2007-2008 school year.  The fourth of these field trips will be to the Page Museum at the La Brea Tarpits, located in Los Angeles, CA.  The tour is 1 hour in duration and will include a 15 minute film entitled “The La Brea Story”.  After the film, the tour will allow students to find out what Los Angeles was like 10,000 to 40,000 years ago, and discover most of the prehistoric creatures that lived here!  You will see the laboratory, learn about paleontology, and experience how sticky tar really is with a hands-on-activity.
