30 March - 25 September ONLY
Become a dino-scientist!
Students will discover what it’s like to be a palaeontologist who studies dino bones!
In this workshop, students (literally) get to the bones of how fossils are formed, identified, and studied.
By creating their own salt-dough fossils to take home and excavating bones from sand and assembling them into a skeleton, students will discover how fossils can help us learn about plants and animals that lived millions of years ago.
