| Dinosaurs and
other prehistoric life fire the imaginations
of children like no other topic. This one
hour workshop is designed to separate science
fiction from science fact. |
| WHAT
DO CHILDREN LEARN? |
 |
| By using a
wide variety of artefacts, models and real
dinosaur fossils, children can investigate
these amazing creatures first hand. Why do
some dinosaurs have sharp pointed teeth, while
others have flat teeth? Why could dinosaurs
not eat people? Why are there no dinosaurs
alive today? By looking at the fossilised
evidence, children can determine for themselves
how these creatures really lived. |
| WHAT
AGE RANGE IS THIS WORKSHOP DESIGNED FOR? |
|
| The Dinosaur
Workshop actively involves children up to
Primary 7. They learn not just by observation,
but also through participation. Through the
use of art, puppets and even clay modelling
it can be tailored to suit children as young
as nursery school age. |
| CHOOSE
A PLANETARIUM VISIT OR SCHOOL OUTREACH VISIT? |
|
| The Dinosaur Workshop can
be delivered at the Planetarium or it can
be presented in your own classroom as part
of our Schools' Outreach Programme. For more
