Explorer and Peruvian paleontologist Rodolfo Salas Gismondihas carried out expeditions to the Amazon Basin and discovered rich fossil sites along the Amazon River. Join Rodolfo and hear how he has collected and co-studied remarkable fossils, such as giant whales, dolphins, and the heaviest animal in the history of the world!

Explorer Classroom is an interactive session that connects learners with National Geographic Explorers for short lessons and Q&A. After the featured Explorer’s lesson, your students will have a chance to have their questions answered in real time! This event is in Spanish and is recommended to bilingual students, heritage speakers, and students acquiring Spanish as a second language, but all are welcome, and will take place on November 28th @ 11:30 am Eastern; register for the time that works best for your class. A recording of the event will be available to watch on-demand on our YouTube channel if your students cannot attend live. 

Teachers, we also have resources in Spanish! Use the interactive guides Explorer Mindset in Action and Get to Know the Explorer with your students to take them on a learning journey and spark their curiosity.

#ExplorerClassroom is for everyone! All events are free.

There are two ways to participate in the virtual event, as a featured class on screen or watching live on YouTube. If space is available, you may request to be a featured class during the registration process.
