Kids investigate the adaptations that let pterosaurs take flight and compare the wingspans of three very different species, the pterodactyl, the filter-feeding pterodaustro and the giant pteranodon, through measuring and modeling activities. Afterward families can head into the museum's fossil galleries to keep the dinosaur-era theme going. Girlstart is an Austin nonprofit focused on getting girls excited about STEM, but the drop-in program is open to all visitors. Participation is included with museum admission; there is no separate registration. ## Similar picks in Austin - [Día de los Huesos (Day of the Bones) at the Texas Science & Natural History Museum](https://grassyknees.com/austin/activities/dia-de-los-huesos-day-of-the-bones-at-the-texas-science-and-natural-hi--listing-0e0e65b9d0b945a34d444126) — Sun, Nov 1 · 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM · Texas Science & Natural History Museum · All ages · With admission · checked Oct 24.
