Prerequisites (description):	(in Polish) Wiedza w zakresie szkoły średniej. Przydatne wcześniejsze odbycie zajęć z przedmiotów Paleontologia I oraz Paleontologia II. Bierna znajomość języka angielskiego.
Short description:	Delivering lectures about the biology of dinosaurs, about the extinctions in the history of life, and about the link between the seawater chemistry and the chemistry of the skeletons of marine organisms.
Full description:	I Were dinosaurs cold or warm-blooded? II Extinctions: number, rates and causes. III How changes in seawater chemistry influenced skeletons of marine organisms? Participant (a female or a male student) gives a lecture based on her or his knowledge gathered from scientific publication(s) and/or from chapter(s) of scientific books (see: Literature). Later on, the audience discusses content of a lecture.
